Yike! Just the concept is scary. I don't want anything happening to my machine without my permission!
The answer, however, is no. Any handling of expiration needs to be done outside of WiX / Microsoft Installer. The best you can hope for as part of the installation is to write a CustomAction which sets "something" (e.g. a file or registry value) which is subsequently used by the application to determine if it has expired or not. Of course, when it detects that it has expired, you could then launch the uninstall process... but I'd still make sure the user knows that's what you're going to do.

Either something that will expire after a certain period or better still will automatically un-install. Of course -all in WiX.
