If you still get the same message after verifying the signature of your
download [0], press the Control-key, then click on the Tor Browser
Bundle icon. Choose 'Open' from the shortcut menu, then click 'Open'.

The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you
will be able to open it in the future by double-clicking it, just
like any authorized app [1].

Apple's condition regarding signing applications are currently not
friendly at all to the security needs of a project like Tor. We will
hopefully resolve the issue at some point [2].
