That was my plan and this requirement is in the README file in the  
tarball.

Already fixed

Fixed just now

Already Fixed

Yes, I have not figured out why that is yet. I have a feeling that  
this is not caused by the Portfiles, but is a generic platform  
problem. I think it will take someone who is more of a developer (I'm  
not really, I'm just packaging some stuff).

It actually works for me. Which is why I didn't make it a dependency  
(that and it stomps on qt4-mac, so it requires manual intervention).

I can browse here. What version of osx are you running? This might be  
fixed by the below or by running kbuildsycoca manually.

Get the latest copy of my tarball and remove dbus and reinstall it.

With the dbus from my newer tarball and running kbuildsycoca, it  
starts, but doesn't open any shell. Like I said, I'm not a dev, so I  
don't know why it's failing.
