 Great. Installing XQuartz is fine. Alternately, you could have installed
 the xorg-server port with MacPorts to get the same software. The important
 part is that you now have ''some'' X11 server, which is what was missing
 before.

 The notes that the dbus port should have printed when you installed it
 should help you solve that:

 {{{
 --->  dbus has the following notes:
   Startup items (named 'dbus-system, dbus-session') have been generated
   that will aid in starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled by
   default. Execute the following command to start them, and to cause
   them to launch at startup:

       sudo port load dbus
 }}}
