No, you can't.  The only think you can do is to make sure I/Os
don't get completed on a disconnect.  Other protocols like SCSI or NBD
at usually try to reconnect and only fail the I/O if that fails.  You'd
either have to fix that in nbd, or try some nasty workarounds like
creating a dm-multipath device with a single path on top of you nbd
device and set the queue_if_no_path option.
