Comment:

 The message is coming from MacPorts base, not from the dbus port.

 I think the correct course of action is to unload the old plist, then
 upgrade the port, then load the new plist.

 We have aliases "sudo port load portname" and "sudo port unload portname".
 The instructions should show these instead of the more complicated form.

 MacPorts should check if a port's plist is loaded when upgrading, and if
 so, should unload the plist before deactivating the old port, and should
 load the new plist after activating the new port.
