The bundled version is not really easy (and not intended) to be used on the command line (even more so with gdb) unless you now the inner structure of the application package and which of the nested shell script sets which environment variables before executing the actual binary (Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape-bin) - if you intend to debug inkscape, install the cli version via MacPorts. Otherwise - the crash report saved by the system (~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter or ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports for 'inkscape-bin') if the process actually segfaults does always include a backtrace: <http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html> has more information (even if outdated, the basics still apply as far as I know).
