Check out the various configuration variables.
C-h v server-*
IIRC you can do something like

   (setq server-window 'pop-to-buffer)

and if you use pop-up-frames, then it should just work.  If you don't use
pop-up-frames, then maybe

   (setq server-window
         (lambda (buf)
           (let ((pop-up-frames t))
             (pop-to-buffer buf))))
