Nope.  Not in the man page for epistrc.  Fluxbox's built-in keygrabber
does have something to cancel a key-chain.

Epist has key chains (as long as you want), bbkeys doesn't, last I 
checked.  Plus the file rc format is more sane, but that's just my
opinion.  Being able to define several key chains of varying length but 
similar prefix like this is nice:

   Mod3-d {
       r changeWorkspace 1; 
       w changeWorkspace 2;
       m changeWorkspace 3;
       g changeWorkspace 4;
       Shift-g changeWorkspace 5;
       j changeWorkspace 6;
       Shift-w changeWorkspace 7;
       d changeWorkspace 8;
   
       Mod3-c {
           m changeWorkspace 9;
           w changeWorkspace 10;
       }
   
       Mod3-r {
           r changeWorkspace 11;
           w changeWorkspace 12;
       }
   
       Mod3-p {
           o changeWorkspace 13;
           Shift-o changeWorkspace 14;
           m changeWorkspace 15;
       }
   
       Shift-h execute "deskhelp";
   }
