I've seen problems with _getpeerid when trying software built for  
Tiger(10.4) on Panther(10.3). AFAICS getpeereid isn't available on  
Panther.

deric at roguewave:~> otool -Tv /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib/ 
libSystem.B.dylib | grep getpeereid
getpeereid.So    _getpeereid
deric at roguewave:~> otool -Tv /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/lib/ 
libSystem.B.dylib | grep getpeereid

I don't know if it's possible to target getpeereid-less platforms in  
the dbus-build.

dbus jumped from 0.61 to 0.92 on the last change to the Portfile[1].

It says 0.92 is API compatible with 0.62 so I'd try to make a local  
port for 0.62 or grab the Portfile as of r17753[2] for dbus 0.61.
