Yes, you can use a time condition. It's a while since I did it, but you can basically do :

if time< some value
then use <some value>
else use <some other value>

I've used this in the past to combine data from 2 RRDs where one ended and another took over at some point - it was a few years ago, but IIRC I decided it was easier to do it that way than to reconfigure the existing RRD with different consolidations.
Either use NOW or a time picked by your script, and only convert UnKn to 0 where TIME less than that. I think you want something like either :
NOW,TIME,LT,IF or ${current_time},TIME,LT,IF

I'll leave you to fill in the rest ;)
