AFAICT, this is not possible with the current code. The above is
attacking the problem at the wrong level: you can't change that behavior
from the outside; you need to change the existing code in order to
implement it.
If you wish to hack, the relevant function is
org-capture-place-template: changing the
org-switch-to-buffer-other-window to org-switch-to-buffer-other-frame
(and adding a definition for the latter function in analogy to the
former) would indeed pop up a frame and you can enter your capture and
finalize it - that's the easy part.
But note that org-capture-finalize would need a tweak too in order to
delete the now useless frame.
And of course all of this would need to be done conditionally based
on a new user option, perhaps org-capture-in-new-frame (nil by default).
And don't forget to make it customizable.
Not worth the bother IMO[fn:1], but if you wish to implement it and submit
a patch, I'd be happy to review it.

Footnotes:
[fn:1] Remember, capture is supposed to be as unobtrusive as possible:
you just want to squirrel away something for future
reference. Bells and whistles (which, IMO, this change would be)
are not the point: you want to get in, record the data and get
out and back to work as fast as possible. Popping up frames slows
things down but more importantly jolts you away from what you
were doing. At least, it would me (I think): that's why I don't
think it's worth it, but you may very well disagree.
