No, but you can limit the size of a tmpfs filesystem when creating it, see
mount_tmpfs(8).

     -s size     Specifies the total file system size in bytes.  If zero is
                 given (the default), the available amount of memory (includ-
                 ing main memory and swap space) will be used.  Note that four
                 megabytes are always reserved for the system and cannot be
                 assigned to the file system.

See /usr/share/examples/fstab/fstab.ramdisk for examples on how to set this
in /etc/fstab.
