Modified from Deep-blue's version. I don't use tabs in shells, so this version always opens a new iTerm window.
Open ScriptEditor from Launchpad and paste this in:
(*

property debug : false
-- when the toolbar script icon is clicked
--
on run
tell application "Finder"
try
set this_folder to (the target of the front window) as alias
on error
set this_folder to startup disk
end try
my process_item(this_folder)
end tell
end run
-- This handler processes folders dropped onto the toolbar script icon
--
on open these_items
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to item i of these_items
my process_item(this_item)
end repeat
end open
-- this subroutine processes does the actual work
-- this version can handle this weirdo case: a folder named "te'st"ö te%s`t"
on process_item(this_item)
set thePath to quoted form of POSIX path of this_item
set theCmd to "cd " & thePath & ";clear;"
if application "iTerm" is running then
tell application "iTerm"
activate
set aWindow to (create window with default profile)
tell current session of aWindow
write text "cd " & thePath & ";clear;"
end tell
end tell
else
tell application "iTerm"
activate
set aWindow to current window
tell current session of aWindow
write text "cd " & thePath & ";clear;"
end tell
end tell
end if
end process_item
Export it as an Application, then drag the application icon up to the Finder toolbar while holding down option and command.
Then you can click the icon in the Finder toolbar and iTerm will open at that folder.
