This seems easy to do, but I don't know what the best UI is.
An element in the dir-locals list:
(fileonly . t)
or
(apply-to . files)
The latter allows for
(apply-to . nonfiles)
as well (though I can't think of a use for that).

Or more generally, the cdr could specify a predicate taking a single
argument (the buffer), e.g.
(apply-if . buffer-file-name)

Likewise, (apply-if . (lambda (buffer) (not (buffer-file-name buffer))))

Be careful about execution of arbitrary code.

Indeed, such a feature should be governed by `enable-local-eval' and
`safe-local-eval-forms' or similar, with `buffer-file-name' being an
element of the latter by default.

I like the idea, but why not structure it like a cond statement since
that's what you're doing anyway?
