If X is milliseconds you want to spend while waiting for lock acquirance then this snippet should help you:

boost::posix_time::ptime till = boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time() + 
    boost::posix_time::milliseconds(X);
...
{
    boost::interprocess::scoped_lock(some_mutex, till);
    ...
}
