Hi Ryan,

I haven't because I don't have an idea how one would go about loading it,  I
presume its part of gnome (being that it dbus is part of its name)...

Here's the gnome stuff that's been sucked in from meld and the other
packages I've built from ports so far, maybe the meld package is missing a
dep?
