a quick google found that for 10.6 and later, yes.  And note the last

As was mentioned
here<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1569976/osx-launching-multiple-instances-of-an-app-and-passing-them-command-line-args>,
the 'open' command in 10.6 now has an 'args' flag, so you can call:

open -n ./AppName.app --args -AppCommandLineArg

An application bundle (a .app file) is actually a bunch of directories.
Instead of using 'open' and the .app name, you can actually move in to it
and start the actual binary. For instance:

$ cd /Applications/LittleSnapper.app/
$ ls
Contents
$ cd Contents/MacOS/
$ ./LittleSnapper

That is the actual binary that might accept arguments (or not, in
LittleSnapper's case).

The binary accepts arguments, I am sure. I wrote it. Invoking 'open'
doesn't allow passing arguments. I am pretty sure about this. And yes, my
script is calling 'open binary' directly, not trying to open the bundle. –
