2 Answers:

If you mean the search in JOSM, yes. It is easy. Just add a '-'sign to do the negative search. So your search query would be

highway=primary -user:userXYZ

This would give you all primary highways not last edited by userXYZ

Thanks for an answer, but I rather thought an API query... added API keyword to my question.

Not explicitly tried it for this, but Overpass might be worth a look (apparently it supports negation)

It does support negation, but it seems only for key-values. I didn't accomplish negating the user name of the last edit.
