You need to load dbus into launchd after the installation (or reboot,  
I *think* that should work too). The dbus post-activation message  
tells you that, but unfortunately macport does not accumulate the  
package's messages for you so most people won't see it :-/

Well, executing this line in a terminal should do the trick:
   launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- 
session.plist
