As I indicated recently in another post, there is in fact a hidden preference to do that.
See "Skipping some folders at indexing time" in our hidden Preferences documentation
For example, to skip all whole folders named "CSS" or "JS" (case insensitive):

defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared SkipPathRegex -array -string '(?i)/CSS$' -string '(?i)/JS$'

(This will also skip individual files that match the patterns)
