Take a look at -[NSApplication orderedWindows]. It was written for the
purpose of Applescript, but it should suffice at least for simple cases
(i.e. when you're not showing sheets, color panel, etc.)

I have a need to determine which of my apps visible windows is
frontmost when the app is not "active". (in other words, the window
that would become the mainWindow if the user clicked the app icon in
the Dock). isMainWindow and isKeyWindow are globally referenced, so
they really are no help.
I realize that the X paradigm of layerless applications normally makes
such considerations meaningless, but this is the second time I have run
into a similar need -- the first was when I needed to determine the
frontmost document window so that it could be used as the target of a
System Service.
This time, however, I am looking for the frontmost visible window,
document or not.
