I'll be retouching the application a bit more today, but for now you can simply do the following:
- open Finder windows showing DropScript and your gnucash executable in /opt/local/bin
- drag the gnucash file onto DropScript
- You'll get a new gnucash item with DropScript's icon; drag that to where you want it. You may need to close and open the /opt/local/bin Finder window, I noticed it isn't always refreshed as it should.

Alternatively, just double-click DropScript, and it will ask you a place to save a new script. Go to your desktop, give a name, and accept the dialog. You'll now get into TextEdit in which you can type the following:
#!/bin/sh

exec /opt/local/bin/gnucash "$@"
# end of script

Save that, quit TextEdit, and you'll get your new gnucash app bundle.

If all is well, you can now launch gnucash by double-clicking the new icon.

BTW, you'll probably need to have Xcode installed to build the app from source ...
