nginx does not support such syntax.
However, the proper way is to not use "if"s at all.
nginx should be configured using locations but not if/rewrites.

Instead of backward logic:

  if ($request_uri !~ ^/XXXXX$) {
      part A
  }

you should use clear logic:

    location / {
        part A
    }

    location /XXXXXX {
        part B
    }

What do you want to configure ?
