You would use an IF statement, and test your picklist with ISPICKVAL().  The, use the Date functions to add a different number of years/months/days.

 

For example:

 

IF(ISPICKVAL(Period__c,'Monthly'), DATE(YEAR(DateField),Month(DateField)+1,DAY(DateField)), DateField)

 

Using the online help for these functions should get you going.
