Consider the overal picture; is this only about DBus or is this ultimately about building standalone app bundles? In other words, would it be possible to name that option variable appropriately to allow it to act as a switch for other, related build options?

yes, on OS X use of DBus is going to depend on whether or not Qt provides the QtDBus component.
