If you control-click on the GnuCash icon and pick "open" from the menu, after the "verifying" dialog completes it should pop up a dialog box saying that it's from an unknown developer with an "open anyway" and a "cancel" button. Click "open anyway". It's possible that that dialog is getting hidden. If it just dies, look in /Applications/Utilities/Console for diagnostic messages or a crash report. If there's nothing there try running GnuCash from /Applications/Utilities/Terminal by typing
  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOSX/Gnucash
at the prompt. There are some errors messages that are viewable only that way.
