No.  The only way the client may lock its state is by busy-waiting. 
This is done in animations, for instance.
Now, some portions of the client may sometimes be "frozen".  But this 
just prevents some updates from being done; it doesn't stop the client 
from receiving new packets and changing its internal state.
