Is there any syntax to support partial negations of refspecs, such as:
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
!refs/heads/dont-pull:
!:refs/remotes/origin/dont-push
If not now, is negation something that might be possible/reasonable in
a future version of Git, or is it difficult/unlikely to change?

No, it doesn't exist now. It's something that people have asked for
occasionally, but I don't think anybody is actively working on it.
I posted a rough patch here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/240997/focus=241057
about a month ago, but I do not have any immediate plans to take it
further (that email details some of the issues). If you're interested in
working on it, I think people are receptive to the idea; it just needs a
clean implementation.
