Comment:

 This is caused by both a problem in the dbus port and the way base checks
 for existing users. I found the code path that breaks this and will commit
 a fix shortly.

 Meanwhile do *not* try to install dbus +no_root in a root installation of
 MacPorts, because it *will* break your root user.
