Oh yeah, it's fixed.
Everything below still qualifies. I made it so that the installer
requires that you log out to complete the installation. I'd like to
know if that takes care of dbus starting automatically.
If, after you are logged back in (os x does this automatically for
you) you go to /Applications/KDE4/Amarok.app and click on it, and it
works (doesn't crash) then it worked.

For people who already have old packages installed these might not
work. New folks should have much less problems.

Again http://illogic-al.org/Amarok_X.pkg.dmg should be at least 300 MB.
Enjoyjizzle. Fo' Shizzle.
