Comment(by gwhitney@…):

 I'm agnostic on what the default configuration for dbus should be.
 However, I did just compile gnucash under Mac OS X 10.5 with +no_x11
 +quartz in my variants.conf, and the resulting gnucash would not run
 properly unless I either used dbus-launch directly or put eval `dbus-
 launch --auto-syntax` in my login profile. (It appeared to be irrelevant
 whether or not I enabled the StartupItem that dbus tells you about when
 you port install it for the purposes of this issue.)  I also just checked
 in the gnucash port updated to 2.2.8, adding a no_x11 variant (see
 r44456).  As a stopgap measure to warn others about the issue, I modified
 the portfile to emit a warning briefly summarizing the dbus issue in the
 post-activate step.  Hopefully this will at least point the next person
 who encounters this issue in the right direction.  The warning can easily
 be removed when the underlying issue (about how to get a hold of a dbus
 session in the absence of an X server) is resolved.
