New description:

 The root directory of my MacPorts install resides in my user directory.
 When I use build Gimp, it errors out with the following information:

 {{{
 Error: org.macports.activate for port dbus returned: error renaming
 "/Users/mike/macports/var/macports/software/dbus/mpextractD7sWHyg3/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop
 .dbus-session.plist" to "/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist": permission denied
 Error: Failed to install dbus
 Please see the log file for port dbus for details:
 /Users/mike/macports/var/macports/logs/_Users_mike_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_dbus/dbus/main.log
 }}}

 I have attached the referenced log file. Could the build be modified to be
 flexible enough to accomodate macport userdir installations?

Comment:

 Try selecting the no_root variant and/or deselecting the startupitem
 variant. I don't know if the port could be modified to do so automatically
 when appropriate.

 {{{
 $ port variants dbus
 dbus has the variants:
    no_root: Run the DBUS daemon as MacPorts install user.
 [+]startupitem: Install startup files.
    test: enable tests
    universal: Build for multiple architectures
 }}}
