Ok, that would not be the usual dbus problem. It is running but can't start
gnome-terminal's backend factory for some reason. You'll need to find the
maintainer for gnome-terminal and ask for help diagnosing it.

    pyanfar:20022 Z$ port info --maintainer gnome-terminal
    maintainer: devans[@]macports[.]org, openmaintainer[@]macports[.]org
