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
