No, katie (the program which installs packages from incoming to its
final destination) does not support that.

However, you can repackage the .orig.tar.gz source and remove the
non-US bits from it. Then you could upload both source and binaries to
main.

(warning: katie might complain that the md5sum of the .orig.tar.gz
file changed, but I'm not sure in this case, it's possible that main
and non-US/main have different "namespaces").
