I think the simplest approach would be to write a predicate and use it
with `org-agenda-skip-function'. I do this in my org-review package, see
https://github.com/brabalan/org-review/blob/master/org-review.el#L230
for an example of a function to use, and
https://github.com/brabalan/org-review/blob/master/org-review.el#L153
for the predicate it relies on (this also shows how to get properties
values and to time comparison).
Best,
Alan
