A port is clashing with another program installed in /opt that is not a port

Hi List,
Today I installed MacPorts into Lion 10.7.3. I used the pkg installer and then typed:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app
to expose Xcode 4.3.1
and then
sudo port install py-spyder
(Spyder is a python IDE for technical computing.)
The installation failed with this error so that dbus and several other dependencies were not installed:
----------------------
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port dbus. Use 'port -f activate dbus' to force the activation.
Error: Failed to install dbus
----------------------
I looked at /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist and found that it is an alias that points to
/opt/openmodelica/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
It turns that I had some time back installed Open Modelica using a .mpkg from a .dmg downloaded from http://openmodelica.org/, so that my /opt at the upper levels looks like this:
/opt/local
/opt/openmodelica
If I take the suggestion by the MacPorts error message above to use 'port -f activate dbus' will this disturb anything with my Open Modelica installation?
Thanks,
Jerry
