Just a guess, but did you follow the instructions from port notes dbus?

As Marcus has suggested, this message is indicative of the session dbus not being initialized after installation. 

$ 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
  ############################################################################

This only needs to be done once. Thereafter, launchd will automatically initialize dbus at startup (user login).
