Aside from the Cocoa and Carbon techniques people have shown you to  
actually bring yourself the front, another alternative is bit of the  
API called the notification manager. The real point of it is to get  
the user's attention in a way that's not potentially destructive to  
either the active app or the one requesting attention. It might be  
appropriate for your needs.
