You can call .abort() on the transport property of Ajax, its part of the internal xmlhttprequest object https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest
so for var foo = new Ajax.Request() foo.transport.abort(); but YMMV as the server might still continue to process the request and the abort() might only kill the callbacks but not the process in the server.
