If you are on 8i (I know it works on 8.1.6 and 8.1.7), you can use select case:

SQL> select * from junk;

SQL> select x, (case when x < 11 then 'small' when x < 21 then 'med' when x < 31 then 'large' end) from junk 2 /

X (CASE
---------- -----

        10 small
        15 med
        20 med
        25 large
