Yes. This is a case for the "customselect" column - just set it to a 
SELECT statement that pulls out the rows you do want, e.g.

bucardo_ctl update table foobar customselect="SELECT a,b,c,d FROM foobar"

Make sure you also set usecustomselect to "true" for any sync that needs it. 
(Thus you can one sync that replicates all columns, and one that does not):

bucardo_ctl update sync mysync usecustomselect=true

See also the t/11-customselect.t test for a working example.
