The management plugin provides a 
(very-nearly-REST-but-we-don't-call-it-that) API:

http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-management/raw-file/rabbitmq_v2_7_0/priv/www/api/index.html

Note that the actual messaging bits of that are rather basic and don't 
take reliability into account, so I don't know if they will be adequate 
for you.

I'm not aware of anything that's publicly available, although I'd be 
interested to hear if someone has written such a thing.
