I'm not exactly sure where to begin looking for this, but when I'm running kde i also run kappdock (http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~bigboss/kappdock/) to monitor my system, swallow applications, etc, etc.
Now I'm wondering if there is such a utility for blackbox that would do the same thing?

What do you mean by "swallow applications"?

kappdock allows you to run applications in a "bar" type style, see this screenshot: http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~bigboss/kappdock/scrsht01.png

The only problem is, kappdock is made for kde not blackbox and im wondering if you can "tweak" kappdock or is there another application like kappdock for blackbox?

It sounds like you want something like the slit - which is built into blackbox. It allows you to run windowmaker dockapps in it.
