I do it using days, not minutes, but the concept is the same. Try using a cron job that runs every 2 minutes. The perl API makes it easy to read ticket values, so it would be pretty straightforward to compare Updated to now() and send an e-mail if the difference is > 5min. It's possible this way to have a ticket languish for up to 6 minutes, but you could run the cron every minute if it's that critical.

I'm considering implementing a method of telling those that need to know when a ticket has been in our triage queue untouched for a predetermined amount of time
(say, five minutes).  I'd like to poll this queue and, if a ticket which meets
these requirements exists, send an email out telling people to act on it.

Has anyone done this before and if so, which method did you use?
