Sure, if you want a fade-to-black just set all light sources and the global
setting ambient_light to drop to zero over a certain amount of time or
number of frames. Simply multiplying their values by a variable going from 1
to 0 ought to do okay. You'll need to make it a fraction of the whole
animation time (frames) if it is to be only a subpart.

Chris Colefax's Clock Modifier macro would do good for this since you can
specify a start/end period which will be a subsection of the full animation
clock. URL to it is:
