It looks like the latest jquery-ui widget for combo box supports ARIA:

Yes, ARIA is an excellent means for accomplishing this.
You can see an example of this at
http://whatsock.com/modules/auto_suggestion_search_field_module/demo.htm
where the same functionality is made fully accessible.
You can see which ARIA attributes are being used within the DOM using Firebug (or similar for IE).
There are some important details that you should know about implementing ARIA in advance though, which are described in the article at https://www.ssbbartgroup.com/blog/2011/12/04/lesser-known-details-that-seriously-impact-the-usage-of-dynamically-generated-aria-behaviors/
Best wishes,
Bryan
