The videorate element does exactly this.  It retimestamps and
drops/duplicates incoming video frames to respect the framerate on the
sink caps.

I updated the docs to explain that some more:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-plugins/html/gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html

For those who didn't know yet, all the plugins that have documentation
are listed on this page:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html
