Not in a way that PostgreSQL itself will enforce.  If you are concerned about a query running wild and taking up resources, setting statement_timeout for the user that will be running these queries is the best way forward.  A user that has general access to PostgreSQL and can run arbitrary queries will be able to craft a query that takes up a lot of system time and memory without too much trouble.
