Thank you guys. Already tried the first one, didn't work. Just now tried the second, it didn't work either.
I'll have to try this on Sno Leo later, but right now I'm on Lion and it don't work. :)

If my memory is right, it's not the app which is at front but the application process.

You may try this scheme :

set OLB to "Camino"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
tell application OLB to activate
tell application "System Events"
repeat
try
if application process OLB is frontmost then exit repeat
end try
end repeat

try to replace the repeat sequence with this code. It's tested with with Snow Leo

repeat
tell application "System Events" to set FA to name of frontmost application
if (FA contains "your Program name here") then
exit repeat
end if
end repeat

display alert "Blubb..." message "Hey, I'm now frontmost..."
