Comment(by ecronin@…):

 dbus (incorrectly I would say) tries to link against dbus-glib when
 building (which depends on dbus, not the other way around).  If you
 {{{port -f deactivate dbus-glib}}} before upgrading dbus it will build
 just fine +universal, and afterward you can then re-activate dbus-glib (or
 {{{port install dbus-glib +universal}}} as well, which probably would fix
 future architecture mismatch issues on upgrading dbus).

 But dbus should not be linking against its dependents...

 Installing dbus-devel and then having dbus be reactivated isn't a real
 solution.  In fact, dbus-devel conflicts with dbus but dbus does not
 conflict with dbus-devel, so this would only "work" in the right order to
 begin with, and you needed to force activate it because obviously the two
 ports share some common filenames.
