I made a patch once to add a new option to pageTS to deactivate a 
language on a tree-base. Exactly what you need and exactly why I made 
this patch for. I cannot remember the RFC number but it was committed 
(to trunk IIRC). It allows you to do this:

mod.SHARED {
     disableLanguages = 2
}

where disableLanguages is a comma-separated list of languages to be 
disabled.

Search for this in this list and you'll find the according RFC if you 
don't have this option (yet) in your TYPO3 install. It was a relative 
small patch which was applied both to Core and to TemplaVoilà as the 
handling is overriden by TemplaVoilà meaning this works regardless of 
whether you use TV or not.
