Assuming that the executable is 
/Applications/DarwinPorts/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm
do
mv /Applications/DarwinPorts/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm \
  /Applications/DarwinPorts/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm-bin

Then make an executable file named 
/Applications/DarwinPorts/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm
such as

#!/bin/sh

export 
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Applications/DarwinPorts/iTerm.app/Contents/Frameworks
exec /Applications/DarwinPorts/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm-bin

Something similar is how I get Safari to run with Webkit nightly builds.
