.attr() has a form when you can use a callback function to transform the currently set attribute.

Using it and combining with the right regex something like this would work:

$("a[href^='mydomain/site']").attr('href', function (i, attr) {
    return attr.replace(
        /^(mydomain\/site\/)(location)\/([^/]*)\//
        , '$1event?$2=$3'
    );
})​
