This is how I do it:
open /Applications/Emacs.app -n --args -Q -l ~/tmp/emacs_debug/init.el

the '-n' says to open the application again even if it's already opened
(i.e., you'll have two emacses running if one was already running). The
'--args' lets you pass arguments to the application. Here I give the
'-Q' argument and a file to use as init file. Note that files must have
an absolute path name.

Best,

Alan
