It's not configurable but you can edit the source and recompile. There  
might be a better way to do this but I would --

In base/utils.c, look for  --

/* handle timeouts when executing service checks */
/* 07/16/08 EG also called when parent process gets a TERM signal */
void service_check_sighandler(int sig){
         struct timeval end_time;

         /* get the current time */
         gettimeofday(&end_time,NULL);

#ifdef SERVICE_CHECK_TIMEOUTS_RETURN_UNKNOWN
         check_result_info.return_code=STATE_UNKNOWN;
#else
         check_result_info.return_code=STATE_CRITICAL;
#endif


and add the single line --

#define SERVICE_CHECK_TIMEOUTS_RETURN_UNKNOWN

/* handle timeouts when executing service checks */
/* 07/16/08 EG also called when parent process gets a TERM signal */
void service_check_sighandler(int sig){
         struct timeval end_time;

...
