AFAIAA, the only way to do this directly in Reports is to have several parameters all with the same list of values and place them in your query e.g

WHERE product_category = :p1

OR     product_category = :p2
OR     ......................
OR     product_category = :p10

This of course means that your parameter form gets quite big
