You should take a look at portablecontacts.net and Plaxo's implementation. Since Portable Contacts (PoCo) requires OAuth and was designed for the use case you described, they'd be a good place to start.
PoCo is also baked into OpenSocial, so expect Google and MySpace to eventually provide access to friends lists over OAuth in the PoCo format.
