Zach,
None of these works in my case. A carbon app with the code I sent earlier
comes to the fore just fine, but the Cocoa app does not. Here is the
complete section of code I have tried:
// method 1
[window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
// method 2
// ProcessSerialNumber processSerialNum;
// GetCurrentProcess(&processSerialNum);
// SetFrontProcess(&processSerialNum);
// method 3
// [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
I tested each method bu its self and of course I didn't have it commented
out when I tested it!

Or you can send -makeKeyWindow to one of your windows.
