Like Justin, I would encourage you to dump and filter.  You can dump
your current repository, filter the dump, load up the new repository
at Google Code, and then mirror that repository back to your local
site.  Or, if you want, you can load the dump locally into a new
repository and then mirror it.

There's no way to mirror incremental revisions and reliably avoid
showing some files.  There's also no way to have mirroring filter out
your externals.
