(group-frames (current-group)) should help. Loop over it, select the 
frame, run the command, wait. Or just create window-placement rules and
set different window class or title for every terminal instance.

We-ell. StumpWM cannot do this per se. There are my contrib modules in
the mailing list that allow you to partially emulate this behaviour, 
though (window-tags and frame-tags). 

You can ask me here or on IRC (MichaelRaskin) if you are interested.

The idea is that I first implemented tags for both windows and frames,
then defined alternative "only" command that doesn't merge distinctly
tagged frames, and the defined a command that removes all splits inside
frame group, pushes the windows not matching a condition on their tags
into an invisible group and pulls the windows that do match into the 
current frame. With a bit of auto-tagging, it works quite well for me.
