If you also want LIMIT N, the easiest way is probably the use of a
window function (PostgreSQL >= 8.4):
SELECT i1, i2, somedate
FROM (
SELECT t1.id AS i1, t2.id AS i2, t2.somedate,
rank() OVER (PARTITION BY t1.id ORDER BY t2.somedate DESC)
FROM t1
JOIN t2 ON t2.t1id = t1.id
) dummy
WHERE rank <= $N
