Ok, you're building universal.

And when doing the ppc part, it couldn't figure out where the "nm" command is (while for the i386 part it could).

You'll probably find that on line 941 of the libtool, it uses the $NM variable between two pipes; since the $NM variable is empty here, that makes two pipes in a row, which is a syntax error.

We've seen this several times before in several other ports that use the muniversal portgroup, so we just have to apply the same fix to the dbus-glib port. You should file a ticket in the issue tracker.
