Comment(by etlverified@…):

 The no_root variant worked! Boy, I feel stupid :(

 I always encountered dbus as a dependency of other ports, so I never
 thought to look at its variants. Once I installed dbus explicitly using
 the no_root variant, I am able to install dependent packages without
 problem.

 Perhaps it would be nice if the no_root variant was the default variant if
 macports is built with "--with-no-root-privileges". That way installing
 any packages that depend on it would be transparent. dbus should at least
 have an error message pointing to the no_root variant if installation is
 attempted without administrator privileges.

 Thanks!
