Comment:

Unfortunately some ports, in this case dbus, install files with unusual names in unusual places which our manual uninstall instructions do not cover, in this case /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist. You can either manually delete that file, or use force the activation (sudo port -f activate dbus) to have MacPorts move the file(s) with conflicting name(s) out of the way for you. Can you elaborate on how sudo port -f activate dbus did not work? It should have. If not, run it with the debug flag (sudo port -df activate dbus) and see if there are any errors.
