kdelibs4 never had any launch daemons. dbus has both a daemon and an agent,
and `port notes kdelibs4` will not display notes for the dbus port.

    pyanfar:2478 Z$ port notes dbus
    dbus has the following notes:

############################################################################
      # Startup items have been generated that will aid in
      # starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled
      # by default. Execute the following commands to start them,
      # and to cause them to launch at startup:
      #
      # sudo launchctl load -w
      /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
      # launchctl load -w
/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

############################################################################

Note that the inclusion of both means that it's not trying to use the `port
load` mechanism, possibly because of confusion.
