This only lists pages not containing the text "Category", not pages not
belonging to any category...

Still, this will end up being pretty close (the text searched also includes
a list of a page's targets).

Hmm... does this mean that if you have a page called e.g. 'MyGroup.Page', and this page contains e.g.

        Bla bla [[other page]] bla bla

then

        (:pagelist MyGroup:)

will match 'MyGroup.Page' because it links to MyGroup.OtherPage?

I think I'd be confused by that behaviour...

 So, one could do:

   (:pagelist group=Test -"Category.":)

and this would show all pages that do not have a link to the category group and that do not contain the string "category." (with the dot, case insensitive).

Can you also search the link targets using e.g. 'Category/'?

Since there aren't likely to be a lot of pages that contain "category.", we're left with a list of pages without category links.

Granted, it would be better to be able to write something like

   (:pagelist link=-Category.*:)

but in the meantime using -"Category." is likely to be a useful approximation.

I don't need this functionality any time soon, so I'll just wait. If I used the trick above I don't think I'd remember how it actually works later on. If I really needed this now, I'd probably go with the convention that you write something like "Category: " before the actual category links, and then list pages not containing the text "Category: ".
