Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 I feel that the "no_root" variant should not exist. Instead, the port
 should detect if the MacPorts prefix was created with a non-root user, and
 act accordingly.

 As far as I know, the inability of dbus no_root to install a launchd plist
 is not specific to the dbus port. Any port attempting to install a launchd
 plist would experience this failure in a non-root MacPorts prefix.
 Therefore, it is not up to each port to fix this, but rather it is up to
 the user to configure their MacPorts installation properly. If any change
 is needed in MacPorts related to this, it would be a change in MacPorts
 base to either alert the user to their improper configuration and/or for
 the installation process to automatically disable startupitems if the
 installation isn't going to use root.
