Comment(by blb@…):

 The problem was that dbus had used startupitem.init which then caused the
 startupitem code to reference the startup script, but never actually
 created that script, so the launchd item would always fail to launch.  I
 referenced the dbus bit since that's where I ran into this issue.

 I actually have no idea if that's how startupitem is supposed to work and
 that script must be created by the port, or if it's a bug with startupitem
 itself.
