@Mencia open -n -a Mathematica opens a new instance of Mathematica. touch ${TMPDIR}/new.nb; open -a Mathematica ${TMPDIR}/new.nb creates a new file in a temporary folder and then opens it. Since the file is created inside the temporary directory it will be removed when the system is restarted. I think the equivalent to what you're talking about is the first option, but it opens the splash screen instead of a blank notebook.

And for reference, if that doesn't work, try: open -a Mathematica filename.nb.
