I have found that you can hide the parts that you don't want to mass, and then unclick the check box that includes hidden parts in the mass. Not exactly the cleanest way to do it, but it gets the job done. Select the entire assembly (That should show up as one item in the mass list if you are doing this correctly) when you do this.

My preferred method is to just mass each part one by one, and then add the masses up in your head. I am just too lazy to hide the other parts.
