You can exclude a directory from being synced in Dropbox by using Selective Sync: http://www.dropbox.com/help/175/en

Basically select the Dropbox preferences and go in Advanced. Select then Selective Sync and look for the folder that you want to exclude from syncing [there is also an advanced view if you have to go in a deeper than 1st level dir depth]
