I'm going to guess this will be a never. Reason I say that, is that this same request was posted Jan 22, 2010 on the uservoice site and has 437 votes and 58 comments and hasn't had an admin reply since Anne did on August 15, 2011. This is a very much wanted (and needed) enhancement that I can't believe wasn't added when the new site was released.
This is one of the more requested features however we're currently working on some other things that we're excited to release for you and aren't working on Gallery Expiration at this time. If you'd like to follow along with any updates, please vote on this topic at our Feedback Forums: http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/455213-set-gallery-expiration-dates-within-gallery-settin. Any updates will be made there. The entire SmugMug Product Team monitors the Feedback Forums and will be your best bet for updates and any discussion regarding how it would work.

When will we have the option to have galleries expire after a certain time frame? This has been a requested feature now for years and on my top list.
As a temporary fix, you can inform clients of their expected date of expiration and then once that date comes, change their password and even make their folder/gallery private. They'll no longer have access.

If you have one or two clients a week no biggie. But when you are shooting 20 a week that is a lot of emailing and changing for something that can be automated and is automated with other companies. Some of Smug Mug's competition not only auto expire gallery, they will auto email the designated person 7 days before and then 1 day before the gallery expires.
