Yes. In the top section of the Smart Mailbox editor window you want 
something that looks like this:

Show Messages in

"All"	of the following mailboxes
	"None"	of the following mailboxes
		"Uptime Monitor"
		"Contact Mail"
	"Inbox"

And uncheck the "Under the following conditions" checkbox.


To get the subset structure for the "None" mailboxes you need to hold 
down the Option key while clicking the "+" in the first "of the 
following mailboxes" line.
