This engine (3.0L) is an interference engine so yes, the engine could lock up if the timing belt jumped.
You will know if your car has jumped timing by the way it starts up. If the engine is slow and sluggish, it could be a sign of jumped timing. Also listen out for strange noises coming from the engine or if it backfires, it is likely that there has been a change in the timing sequence.
Your question is too vague usually when someone says that their engine has jumped time that means that the timing chain has jumped on the timing sprockets. If that is the case you would need to change them. If the distributor is out of time to do it right you would need to have a timing light. You would need a repair manual for the specifications to fix both of them.
To reset the timing on a 1996 Infiniti I30 after jumping timing, first ensure the engine is off and remove the timing cover to access the timing belt or chain. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft according to the service manual specifications.
