I am writing a small GUI helper application that is invoked by a unix style daemon when input is required. I need this application to pop up on top of all other programs and grab the keyboard focus.

Such a thing is generally discouraged. (I don't know how many times I've had IM windows pop up while I'm typing passwords on other OSes causing me to type into the IM window.) A better way to request the user's attention would be the bouncing dock icon. I believe NSApplication's requestUserAttention: method is the way to do it.
