The code doesn't disallow the use of certain runways completely (there's always a fallback mechanism for extreme weather), but it could at least strongly discourage the use of certain runways.
For an example: have a look at data/Airports/AI/EHAM/rwyUse.xml, present in FG 0.9.9 Note: This currently only works with AI traffic, but obviously, runway use should be synchronized between AI and user traffic. At least that's part of my long term goals.
