Using pcregrep, installed by devel/pcre, typically available on apache 
systems:
pcregrep "$date.* \[client (?!192\.168\.254)" /var/log/httpd-error.log | \
	mail -s"Error log for $date" charles

Should work. As far as I know, look ahead assertions aren't supported by re(7) 
or the extended version.
