You could say (for source address):
(arp or rarp) and not (ip[15] > 99 and ip[15] < 251)

Or you could also perhaps write an include filter rather than an exclude one, depending which range 
is easier to represent.  I don't think it's as big as you think.

And if nothing else, get arpwatch to print its output and filter it with grep or such.
