I don't think it's possible yet.  There is the --matches option
for pull that possibly could be extended with a path match,
for example "darcs pull --all --matches='not path _hb/'", that
would only select patches with(out) a path containing _hb/.
I have not looked at the code, but the current matches all
are for patch "headers" (name, date, hash).  A path match
would require looking at all the primitive patches of the
named patches.

The name match can be used like above for now, but than you
have to remember to give all no-pull patches some sort of
tag in the name, like "blah blah blah /HB/".
