I guess I figured it out.
From the scripts in <pd>/mac/ I found that <app>/Contents/MacOS/Pd is actually a wish binary, which starts <app>/Contents/Resources/tcl/pd- gui.tcl, which in turn starts the pd binary in <app>/Contents/Resources/bin/pd.
So what I do now is to edit the appropriate line in pd-gui.tcl (currently 781) and specify the desired start options there:
exec -- $pd_exec -guiport $::port -open ../patches/mypatch.pd &
Seems to work.
BTW, I'm amazed how easy it is to build a Pd.app on macOS. Nice work, Dan!

you could just add "-open {your_path}" into prefs?
I actually would prefer such a simple approach, but how can I include the prefs file into the app?
