Hmm.  According to the manual[1]:

   opendiff file1 file2 [-ancestor ancestorFile] [-merge mergeFile]

what should be the file1/file2/ancesorFile here?

Another problem is this paragraph:

  opendiff exits immediately after the comparison request has been
  sent to FileMerge.

Uhhhh... how does git-gui know the user is done and the mergeFile should be staged?

I'm also on OS X (its my primary development system for git-gui) so I might consider working on this, but after looking at the manpage I'm not so sure...
