We'll want to raise the dialer app on incoming calls with intents when we have support for that, but for the time being, we can hack something in. One option would be always loading the dialer app on startup and ensuring it registers for incoming calls. On incoming calls, the dialer could request to the homescreen that it be brough to the foreground. Or use a proto-API for throwing system-modal dialogs (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674734).

Another option would be having the homescreen register to listen for call-state changes and raise the dialer using a proto-intents API. I think I prefer ensuring the dialer app is always loaded for now.
