Gnucash fails to install: configure dbus-glib failure

[Bjorn Berg]

I checked for dbus. It's invoked on my command line to start GNOME.
So a ran a search and an install and got this trace:

port search dbus
dbus                           devel/dbus     1.0.2        A message bus 
system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another.
dbus-glib                      devel/dbus-glib 0.73         Glib 
bindings for the dbus message bus system.
IBook:~ bj$ sudo port install dbus
--->  Activating dbus 1.0.2_2
Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: Another version 
of dbus (0.61_2) is already active.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

If I uninstall the older version what flaky behaviour can I expect 
trying to install the new one?
