Rainer:

Thank you for your suggestions.  I don't know 
macports or dbus at all well. I can report data, 
but I'm glad there are skilled and helpful 
macports people to interpret it.

Interesting.  It looks like dbus @1.2.12_5 has 
its 
LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist 
point to /opt/local/Library/, but there's no 
LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist 
there.

I'm not sure what to make of this.  Does dbus 
@1.2.12_5 fail because its 
./LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist 
file never got installed?
