Not sure if there's an existing module, but one idea for writing  a
simple one:

By using hook_menu_alter [1] you could re-define the access function:

function mymodule_menu_alter(&$callbacks) {
  $callbacks['user/%user/contact']['access callback'] =
'mymodule_contact_access_function_name';
}

then you could define:

function mymodule_contact_access_function($account) {

...implement whatever logic you want...

}

You can see how contact defines access by default here [2].

Cheers,

Jonathan
