I did not load the launchd plist automatically in dbus'  
post_activation for two reasons:
1) there is no way to undo it since there is no port-phase  
pre_deactivation
2) it's a macports policy not to start daemons automatically

However, for dbus we could perhaps make an exception. First, the  
software is nearly useless without an open session bus and second, on  
a reboot the launchagent is loaded anyway.

The command to load it in post_activation should be some thing like this
   sudo -u $SUDO_USER launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/ 
org.freedesktop.dbus-
session.plist

bye,
Jonas
