 > Nor should it be. The port installs fine for me; I don't know why you're
 experiencing this problem.

 Do you run MacPorts without root privileges?  The directory is owned, and
 only writeable by, root.  (I don't know how that happened, since I
 installed MacPorts without root privileges, unless it somehow got chown'd
 when I installed dbus.)  I did not have problem installing any other
 packages, so this is not a universal problem; and it worked fine once I
 gave the group (everyone) write permission to the directory, so that seems
 to be the only problem.
