Comment(by michaelld@…):

 It's easier to delete everything & start from scratch.  I used to do that
 pretty regularly when MacPorts was 1.0-1.5: corrupt database, some files
 got lost, or whatever.  I haven't had to do it in a long while, so I think
 MacPorts' internals have gotten more stable (yay!).

 After your "upgrade" is done (assuming it works), and if the "launchctl"
 still doesn't work, then I think you should first try:
 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall dbus
 sudo port install dbus
 }}}
 then either do the patch or copy the file and try it again.  The "-f" will
 force the uninstall (might need a version if more than one is installed),
 and reinstalling from scratch often takes care of some issues.
