Verify that the following file exists:
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gdal-py2.7.pth

and that its contents are:
import sys;
sys.path.insert(0,'/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.11/Python/2.7/site-packages')

(@William, I just installed latest GDAL and the gdal-py2.7.pth still
appears to reference version 1.10. On a clean install, this may be causing
the reported issue here.)

At the bottom of the Raster menu, open GdalTools Settings dialog, and try
pasting in these settings:

* Path to GDAL python modules: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
* Path to the GDAL executables: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs
* GDAL Help path: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Resources/doc

Then, relaunch QGIS and see if error persists.

Note, only the system Python is supported. Installing Python 2.7.6 will not
update the Python that QGIS is compiled against (i.e. the system's). Any
modules/packages should be installed in system Python, which is the default
for Kyngchaos installers. Also, for Mac OS X 10.9.3, the system Python is
already at 2.7.5, so upgrading to 2.7.6 will not add much.
