I'm not completely clear what you want to do.

You can use "not tag:foo" to match messages not containing the tag foo.

If you want messages without any tags, then you either have do some
scripting (and two queries), or use the sexp query parser
something like

          notmuch search --query=sexp '(not (tag *))'

This is more like the "not tag:foo" version of the question. You can add
excludes to saved searches, but indeed they are not part of the query,
which is what most interactive input to notmuch expects.
