I have a hunch it might be easier to do a negated regex or string match.

That's no problem here. The goal is to separate the link libraries from the runtime libraries, i.e. libfoo.dylib vs. libfoo.[0-9.]*.dylib , in the context of a (local) tinkerproject to automate the definition of Debian-style -dev ports as much as possible.
A port that only provides a library of the form libfoo.dylib would be more problematic.
