I haven't got OSX here at the moment so I can't check, but IIRC it is a
bit confusing which binary to use in the bundle, and if you use the
appropriate one you can use command line args - for example this script
works for Pd-0.40 extended on OSX 10.4
/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nogui
/Library/Pd/slave.pd; exit
