Although it wasn't intended for cumulative excludes, and assuming you are
using rsync/rsyncd, you could use $Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} to specify excludes
in the main config.pl file and leave that setting empty in the per-host
configuration.
Alternatively, as noted in the comments for that parameter, you could also
do something like this:
$Conf{RsyncArgsExtra} = [
'--exclude-from=$confDir/allhosts.exclude',
'--exclude-from=$confDir/pc/$host.exclude',
];
(note: I haven't tested this.) That would allow you to put host-specific
excludes in your config directory (eg, /etc/BackupPC/$host.exclude) and
global excludes in /etc/BackupPC//allhosts.exclude.
