Yes, the following works:

(require 'org)

(defun qw ()
  (interactive)
  "Create a new capture frame helper-function" 
  (make-frame '((name . "foo")
                (width . 120)
                (height . 25)))
  (sleep-for 0.00134)
  (select-frame-by-name "foo") 
  (org-agenda))

If sleep gets any shorter it no longer works. The wait is short enough
not to be noticed. Good enough for me, thanks for the suggestion.
