You can do it already using multiple Options clauses:

    Options {
      # Files that we don't want to compress.
      signature = MD5 
      wild = *.gz
      wild = *.Z
      wild = *.mp3
    }
    Options {
      # Default clause to compress all other files
      signature = MD5
      compression = GZIP
    }

Remember to put all other options (such as signature) into both clauses.
