I filed a ticket to support this (proper support for document types,
support for app bundle is another isuse). While this doesn't mean that
it will be implemented and I consider it a low priority anyway, can
someone please correct my assumptions about how this works (or should
work)?

Here's the ticket: http://bugzilla-geant4.kek.jp/show_bug.cgi?id=1498

Just a note: this is about Geant4 applications that are usually
started from command-line and open a Qt window on request or by
default (they could be used in command-line/text-only mode and open
X11 windows, but let's forget about these). By stripping the -psn_*
argument the application can easily be bundled as Something.app and
this works out-of-the-box with the "app" PortGroup.

I wrote my speculations, but I would like to be corrected if I wrote nonsense.

Thank you,
