Sam,
It sounds like you're asking for a way to create a fileset by applying
a filter to another fileset... which sounds like an interesting and
useful task, but not one which NAnt supports at the moment (to the
best of my knowledge).
An alternative to achieve what you want (using one of the 0.85 release
candidates or a nightly) is to loop over the files in your fileset and
conditionally delete files based on the evaluation of a function:
<foreach item="File" property="file">
<in>
<items refid="my-fileset" />
</in>
<do>
<delete file="${file}" if="${file::get-last-write-time(file) <
datetime::parse(targetdate)" />
</do>
</foreach>
