You may wish to have a look at org-agenda-window-setup (and others):

,----
| org-agenda-window-setup is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is reorganize-frame
| 
| Documentation:
| How the agenda buffer should be displayed.
| Possible values for this option are:
| 
| current-window    Show agenda in the current window, keeping all other 
windows.
| other-frame       Use `switch-to-buffer-other-frame' to display agenda.
| other-window      Use `switch-to-buffer-other-window' to display agenda.
| reorganize-frame  Show only two windows on the current frame, the current
|                   window and the agenda.
| See also the variable `org-agenda-restore-windows-after-quit'.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
