Yes, I wrote something to do this a long time ago.
Use the alarm command:
{{{id
alarm(3)
for i in range(10):
print i
sleep(1)
///
0
1
2
Traceback (most recent call last): sleep(1)

line 3, in <module>
File "/Users/was/s/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/misc/misc.py",
line 1345, in __mysig
raise KeyboardInterrupt, "computation timed out because alarm was
set for %s seconds"%__alarm_time
KeyboardInterrupt: computation timed out because alarm was set for 3 seconds
}}}
