Comment (by Tjworld):

 A follow-up to my suggestion of adding the "cat_scope" to wp_categories
 table, and allowing each category to be set to belong to one of 'Both',
 'Post', 'Link'.

 I've tested this and it works nicely. It had the added benefit that when a
 parent category is, say, 'Link' only, all that categories children are
 hidden from the Post Category list, so the heirachy is maintained.

 I've attached a patch generated against WordPress 2.1.3
