I think you can get away with this:

<a href="([^:"]+)"

All absolute URLs have colons in them between the protocol and the rest
of the URL AFAIK (https?:, ftp:, mailto:), and so a URL that is lacking
them would be relative.

Of course, I haven't slept in quite a while, so feel free to point out
all the obvious cases I've missed :).
