Comment:

 Unfortunately some ports, in this case dbus, install files with unusual
 names in unusual places which our manual uninstall instructions do not
 cover, in this case /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist. You can either manually delete that file, or use force the
 activation (`sudo port -f activate dbus`) to have MacPorts move the
 file(s) with conflicting name(s) out of the way for you. Can you elaborate
 on how `sudo port -f activate dbus` did not work? It should have. If not,
 run it with the debug flag (`sudo port -df activate dbus`) and see if
 there are any errors.
