Comment (by cal@…):
From what I can see, the install phase in MacPorts never explicitly calls
`launchctl`, so I have to assume the problem is somehow caused by some
other tool called by MacPorts that uses launchd's socket activation
feature to start the daemon that should be declared in
`/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist`,
but that fails because the file doesn't exist.
I think MacPorts might be trying to create a user for the dbus port and
fails to do that (that would explain why it wants to talk to directory
services).
Can you try running `sudo dscl` on your system? Does that work and give
you a command prompt, or does it fail with the same message? Can you try
restoring the `com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist` from a backup and
see if that fixes the problem? This file is an integral part of any OS X
system, it should really not be missing.
