Short answer: no, you cannot tell bibdesk to omit fields to import. You could use the database Find & Replace to change one field in a bunch of items at once. Are you importing files at once, or one-by- one? In the former case you could use the Last Import group to select the items to change. Otherwise you could perhaps add a smart group that lists all items added in the last day.
