    Didn’t test it but one of the paramenters you can use is category_name and the – means exclude. So you should be able to do something like.

    query_posts(‘category_name=-Your Category Name’);

    I believe you need to use the cat id, but I don’t know for sure. Best bet is to ask at the wordpress.org forums. Someone there can definitely tell you yes or no, as opposed to folks guessing.
