I don't think PG has such configuration parameter.
But, you could easily write a function (say in PgPlSQL) and run it on schedule, 
where you could check "IDLE IN TRANSACTION" session and compare their 
start_time to system time, and then based on your criteria you could kill 
suspect session/transaction.
But this could be dangerous;  some long-running transactions could be perfectly 
valid.
