Git has no internal support for doing this. You would have to choke the
TCP connection elsewhere. Look for QoS options in your operating
system's network setup. I think I have also seen LD_PRELOAD libraries
that will limit I/O, but I can't recall the name of any right now.

libcurl provides such a feature so if the clone is done over HTTP it would be 
easy to offer, but I figure it would also be weird to only provide it over a 
single particular transfer method...

There is always 'trickle'.

I think this is the preload-based tool Peff was thinking of. I've not
used it with git, but I have used it successfully limiting bandwidth
for other downloads.
