You just need a method of identifying those users who should receive free
shipping - in the case of logged in users, for example, perhaps a new field
in the userdb called 'free_shipping', with a non-blank value for those who
get a free ride.

Then on the checkout page you can just do (near the top):

[if value free_shipping]
         [value name=mv_shipmode set=freeshipping hide=1]
[/if]

...this assumes you have a mode called freeshipping in shipping.asc, which
could look something like this (formatted for readability):

code            Desc            criteria        min     max
price
freeshipping    Free Shipping!  price           0       99999999        0

...you could also disable the shipmode selector on the checkout page, since
they do not need to see it in this case:

[if !value free_shipping]
         (shipmode selector code here)
[/if]
