I believe that's a Carbon thing; there is also no standard "not
allowed" cursor. Just return NSDragOperationNone and let the
slide-back animation do its job.

If you want to explain to the user why they can't drag, maybe you
could use a tooltip? Query the draggingInfo in -draggingUpdated: and
use it to position a borderless window that describes why the
operation can't be done.
