In 1.5 you can, although you have to specify includes, not excludes.

1. Checkout the top level but set checkout depth to "Immediate
children including folders". That will checkout empty (unpopulated)
folders.
2. Select all the folders which you are interested in and use
"Update-to-revision", changing the depth setting to "Fully recursive".
You will then have fully populated folders of your choice.
3. A normal Update from the top level will remember your depth choices.

Note that it is not possible (yet) to downgrade working copy depth
yet. Once fully-recursive, always fully-recursive.
