No, but your client application can use a libpq API call to cancel the
query, after a timeout if you wish.

If you're using C/C++ interface, look at the asynchronous query
functions.  It's a little more work, but not much.  You'll have to
supply your own timing routine and/or you might provide a method for the
user to cancel the query (like with a pop-up window...).
