If you are talking about a popup launched from a webpage - then *sort of*. Otherwise there isn't a way to do it outside of modifying the way your OS handles the z-order of the application windows.
With that said - there is a application called WindowBlinds by Stardock ( that can add the functionality to *lock* a window on top of all the others. Again, it is modifying how Windows handles the z-order of individual windows and forces the selected window to be "always on top". The user turns this *lock* on and off as he/she wishes - I don't believe there is a way for a web page to control this.
Hope this is helpful.

After my last post - I did a little searching. If you put the following in the <BODY> tag of your page the user will not be able to move off of it (unless they go to a different page or close their browser)
Seems to work pretty nicely. Let me know if it does what you want.

Code:
<BODY onBlur="window.focus()">Seems to work pretty nicely. Let me know if it does what you want.

Yes, that is generally very annoying, but I can also see valid uses for it, and if it's being used correctly, it should be fine.
