Since Django 1.4 you can create your own filters for change list view. If you want to show just used/related items in filter chooser you can use this snippet.
Original idea from here. Big thanks to author.
Improved class names for better clarity and use of model_admin.model instead of hardcoded model name.
In example you can see two models - City and Country. City has ForeignKey to Country. If you use regular list_filter = ('country',) you will have all the countries in the chooser. This snippet however filters only related countries - the ones that have at least one relation to city.

# You can also use hardcoded model name like "Country" instead of

from django.db import models
class Country(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=64)
class City(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=64)
country = models.ForeignKey(Country)
# admin.py
from django.contrib.admin import ModelAdmin
class CityAdmin(ModelAdmin):
list_filter = (CountryFilter,)
admin.site.register(City, CityAdmin)
