Not without editing the source code.  You can see which line of code 
reports the error by doing

   gm convert -debug exception file.gif file.miff

since this will tell you where the exception was reported.

Recently additional steps were taken to shore up the decoders since 
apparently some people have been uploading GIF "bomb" images to 
automated web sites in order to try to take them down.
