No, not as-is.

But it would be possible to have an interrupt service routine set a
flag in a C variable that is monitored by the VM. So that the VM
notices the flag when it goes to execute the very next bytecode.
However, some bytecodes are hundreds and thousands of clock cycles...
especially for native function calls and bytecodes where memory may be
allocated (and the GC may run).

So if you have time-sensitive processing, do it in C/assembly.
