Your description is very similar to what used to happen.
So either 10.9 needs something else to solve the problem or you are
using an old application bundle.

I understand that you say

> I use today’s MacPorts dev version on OSX 10.9.

but are you sure that the Frescobaldi application bundle you are using
is the one provided by current MacPorts and not a previous application
bundle (maybe created with the previous installation instructions or
with your initial version of the py2app setup file)?

If you enter the following line in the Terminal, does Frescobaldi open the file?
open -a /Applications/MacPorts/Frescobaldi.app /path/to/file.ly

I don't get these errors on my machine, and I don't know what could cause them.

Frescobaldi/MacPorts users: can you please report how does Frescobaldi
behave on your system?
Here is what should happen (and happens on my 10.6 machine and on a
10.8 machine I can access sometimes):
if you either
- drag and drop a ly file (or any text file, for what is worth) over
the icon of Frescobaldi in the Dock, or
- right-click on a ly file and choose "Open with..." > "Frescobaldi
([version])", or
- double-click on a ly file associated with Frescobaldi (to associate
a file: right-click on the file, choose "Get Info" and choose
"Frescobaldi ([version])" in the "Open with..." dropdown list),
then Frescobaldi should start, if it is not already running, and open the file.

Please, test the latest version ("sudo port selfupdate", "sudo port
upgrade outdated") and tell us also the version of Mac OS X.

Best wishes.
Davide
