The bp home theme is really just a widget framework. You can install any widget you like in that theme. You can modify the standard ‘activity’ and ‘recent blog posts’ widgets. You can install a plugin that aggregates feeds from specific blogs. Your requirements are pretty specific so you have to decide if you are going to develop custom code or try to utilize some off the shelf plugins.
To answer your question. No there isn’t a mechanism in place that allows you to be selective in the posts that show up using the ‘sitewide activity’ or ‘recent blog posts’ widgets.
Have fun.

Have fun. (but don’t tell anyone we are though)
thank you, do you have any recommendations for plugins that do this?
I was looking around for something similar. Not exactly what you are talking about though. I ran across:
wp-o-matic which aggregates rss feeds to a blog
http://devthought.com/wp-o-matic-the-wordpress-rss-agreggator/
donncha’s site wide tags (which doesn’t work with bp at the moment)
http://ocaoimh.ie/2008/10/01/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags-pages-031/
Any solution you find will probably not include your requirement for being selective about the posts you show. You are probably going to have to find something near what you want and modify it for your needs.
Maybe somebody else has a different approach or suggestion?
