I think BB is on the right track. L = vt; where L is wavelength and t is the time it takes to travel one wavelength at v velocity. When v = c, we have L = ct and since t is a period (the time to travel one L), we have t = 1/f, where f is the frequency of light.
Thus, E =hf = h/t = hc/L; where h = Plank's constant. Max E is determine by how short L can get to. And f = c/L; so max freq is also determine by how short L can go. As BB suggested, that appears to be Plank's length which is about 10^-33 cm if I recall correctly. (You can look it up on the web.)

There isn't really one unless you impose some super high cutoff like the electro-weak symmetry breaking energy or the planck energy and use E = hf.
