dbus-0.92 workaround?

[pasky]

I noticed there is a semi-automated workaround that enables dbus-0.92 
to install on Panther:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/10659

Only I don't seem to be able to follow the instructions...
... I can pass the prefix option to configure but, I seem to be missing 
what it means in step 1. by "setting the FLAGS (INSTALL.txt)" so if 
anybody help me out I would really appreciate it.
