I have a 5-bulb chandelier with a knob-style wall switch dimmer. What x10 wall switch do I need? Or is this even possible?

Assuming you are using standard incandescent bulbs, and not CFLs, this switch will work

Just replace your current dimmer with the WS467.

Just make sure you don't exceed the wattage rating for the switch. Otherwise it's just like a single light.
Some switches are only rated for 300W. For one of those you couldn't use more than 60W bulbs.
The WS467 that dave w recomended is rated for 500W so as long as you're not using 5 bulbs rated over 100W each you should be ok.

Thanks. Just bought 3 of them on eBay for $30 shipped.
