I have a project that does this, but it's _very_ old (Tiger, 2007), so if there's a better way, I hope someone will chime in...

In the Info tab of the Target editor (Xcode 4), declare a folder document type. Set LSTypeIsPackage to NO, and CFBundleOSTypes to a single element, 'fold'.

My app was non-document, and handled only folders, so my application delegate had the method

- (BOOL) application: (NSApplication *) theApp
            openFile: (NSString *) aPath
{
    NSFileManager *     fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    BOOL                isDirectory;

    if ([fm fileExistsAtPath: aPath isDirectory: &isDirectory] && isDirectory) {
        [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController]
         noteNewRecentDocumentURL: [NSURL fileURLWithPath: aPath]];
        [self setDirectory: aPath];
        return YES;
    }
    else
        return NO;
}

Probably you should be looking for the UTI public.directory instead.
