Comment (by devans@…):

 Yes on all the above.  WRT dbus, it is necessary (if you don't have it
 installed and running many GNOME apps will complain) but the preferred API
 to talk to dbus is GDbus (part of gio provided by glib2) and it only needs
 to know how to find the address (socket) for the dbus instance you want to
 talk to in order to work.

 gsettings does have a native OS X backend and you'd think that means that
 you wouldn't need dconf but there are some ports that depend on it
 explicitly so it's sometimes needed and the two work with each other
 transparently.

 At any rate, for dependencies, I recommend to be guided by what is tested
 at configure time plus anything else that is necessary for the build.

 WRT buildbots, https://build.macports.org/waterfall gives a useful display
 of whats going on there.

 So two down and 3 to go for this ticket.
