There is no api to do what you want.
I would say that the easiest way to do this is to:
(1) Replace the address book device app with one you write yourself, and
(2) Replace the address book conduit with one you write yourself.
(1) is needed to create a gui and/or method of specifying which records you
want to sync (say by category, or ...). I would store this filter
information in a side database -- or anywhere that your conduit can get at
it.
(2) is needed to restrict the sync to the specified filter.
The technical reasons why such an approach would be best lie in the small
amount of sync information that is actually retained with each address book
record. In particular, there is only a single dirty bit per record. This
is clearly insufficient to support more complex synchronization scenarios
such as partial sync, three-way sync, etc.
Of course, spinning your own app conduit is a non-trivial task. :(
