IMHO this is not possible as this is a NON maskable interrupt, thus the processor MUST do the jump and there is no way a programmer (think OS) can hook into that.
... and so it SHOULD. Think the other way, you have a hung OS (locked) and you need to reset. IF this was maskable you could press that button, but nothing wopuld happen as the OS already is dead, requiring a power cycle. If you want something to reboot the computer by pressing a button, i.e. no keyboard, use the power button as this is maskable. Catch this through inittab and shut down the computer nicely (I do this one a few machines).
