It's not an absolute contraindication. But you may need a lower dose of Xanax if you're taking it with grapefruit juice -- and just how much lower a dose you'll need is pretty variable.
Personally, I take Xanax occasionally and have sometimes had grapefruit juice with it. I've never had a problem with the combination. It won't kill you, but you should be careful (don't try to drive or anything, try to figure out how much you need to adjust your dose by, etc.).
