I don't think you can break it, but you can choose to ignore the rest of the 
elements.
This is all off the top of my head, so there may be syntax errors.

#set ($loopNotDone = "true")
#foreach $aValue in $aList

#if ("$loopNotDone" = "true")

## your code here

## detect end condition -- equivalent to break
#if (end condition)
#set ($loopNotDone = "false")
#end ##if (end condition)

## more of your code here


#end ## if $loopNotDone

#end ## foreach $aValue


Yeah, those years of programming in assembly can really pay off at times 
like this :-)
