actually pd-gui was not passing the port number to pd.tk I didn't spent time figuring out the reason, but I fixed it with commit 10501 [1], by calling 'wish pd.tk' instead of 'pd-gui' call it a hack, but it worked for me
btw, s_inter.c is very very messy. it's hard to read what it does for which platform how about a tidy up? perhaps writing a little cross-platform api for launching processes (and wish) would allow this...(?) (but, is the launch order reversed in OSX? i.e. the gui starts the server?)
