Sorry for the very slow reply. I happened to just now read in the Mac OS
section of the Emacs manual:

The default behavior when a user drags files from another application
into an Emacs frame is to insert the contents of all the dragged files
into the current buffer. To remap the `ns-drag-file' event to open the
dragged files in the current frame use the following line:

(define-key global-map [ns-drag-file] 'ns-find-file)

I don't know if it works, or if it should be the default.
