I'd say KApplication (a class), has called KCrash (a class, method setDrKonqiEnabled()),
which cannot find DrKonqi.  Where did you install it?  I think where it is looking is where
it should be - roughly... ;-)  In MacPorts, DrKonqi is installed as an APP, at
/opt/local/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi.app and drkonqi, the executable, is a bit further down.

See:

"Session bus not found" is another roadblock.  Ask one of the KF5 guys?

Grit your teeth and keep slugging on, Marko!  Starting the first app with a new
version of everything is always the hardest… :-)  There is so much setup to do.
