var Prefab1 : GameObject;
var Prefab2 : GameObject;
var Prefab3 : GameObject;
var Prefab4 : GameObject;
var Prefab5 : GameObject;

Function Start()
{
var PrefabNum = Random.Range(0, 5);
Var prefabArr = new array()
prefabArr(1) = Prefab1
prefabArr(2) = Prefab2
prefabArr(3) = Prefab3

It seems the most logical solution here would be an array (or similar container), e.g.:

var prefabs : GameObject[];

function Start()
{
    var prefab = prefabs[Random.Range(0, prefabs.length)];
    // Instantiate as usual.
}

Note: I'm guessing at the UnityScript syntax a bit, but it should be fairly close.

Make a prefab and fill it with some objects you want to choose from. Then 

var num = Random.Range(0, k);
Instantiate(obj_array_prefab.GetChild(num).gameObject,transform.position,transform.rotation);
