Comment(by habmalnefrage@…):

 Finally I got it working.[[BR]]
 Here is what I did:[[BR]]
 1. I uninstalled everything like described in the MacPorts documentation,
 chapter 2.5.[[BR]]
 2. reboot[[BR]]
 3. Installed MacPorts from scratch, port selfupdate (see chapter 2.3 of
 MacPorts documentation)[[BR]]
 4. sudo -s, enter password[[BR]]
 5. port install kdebase4. The following steps, especially 10 to 14, are
 those which I was requested to do after kdebase4's installation. They
 might differ in further package versions.[[BR]]
 6. launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 system.plist[[BR]]
 7. exit --> this will cancel super user session and continue working as
 normal user [[BR]]
 8. launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist[[BR]]
 9. 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE'  replacing $USER with
 my username. I think, it's important not to do this in a sudo-session, but
 with the sudo command, since ~ refers to the normal users home directory!
 [[BR]]
 10. sudo port install python_select[[BR]]
 11. sudo python_select python27[[BR]]
 12. sudo port load mysql5-server[[BR]]
 13. sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5[[BR]]
 14. sudo port load openldap[[BR]]
 15. I rebooted to start DBus for sure. [[BR]]

 Dolphin and Konqueror might work now. The following steps install German
 language packs for spelling and KDE4: [[BR]]

 16. sudo port install aspell-dict-de[[BR]]
 17. sudo port install hunspell-dict-de_DE[[BR]]
 18. sudo port install kde-l10n-de[[BR]]
 After all of this, Dolphin and Konqueror start as well from terminal
 (starting dolphin in dolphin.app's subdirectory)as from dock (link to
 dolphin.app/konqueror.app)[[BR]]

 '''Note''': This documentation might be helpful for you, but is without
 any warranty! I just described how I got it working for me.

 If I find some issues with these applications, shall I open a new ticket
