Not within nagios, but...

... as Martin Melin indicates, this is best done by your notification  
script. The default notification commands work for the majority of  
users for the majority of use cases. For special cases, such as yours,  
it's trivial to drop in your own notification script. You just need to  
write that logic into it.

I would.... have it grab the notifications and determine if it should  
be queued or not. Those that should get written to a file. At 7am, a  
second script parses that file and sends all the notifications.
