akregator (and other kdepim4 apps) crash on launch

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

This is after both port load dbus with no errors:

--->  Loading startupitem 'dbus-system' for dbus
--->  Loading startupitem 'dbus-session' for dbus

And launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist with errors:

Load failed: 5: Input/output error
Try running `launchctl bootstrap` as root for richer errors.

Is there something else I need to do to get D-Bus right? Was there a change in launchctl?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Have you followed these steps?

wiki:KDE#Stepsrequiredafterinstallation

I'm not sure if those steps are still required; the page has not been edited in 3 years. But the KDE ports in MacPorts are probably more outdated than that.

[ShadSterling (Shad Sterling)]

I'm not sure I had before, but I have now to no apparent effect. I was not able to find the QtCurve settings in System Settings, and the dbus-session LaunchAgent had the same I/O error. kbuildsycoca4 output includes quite a few undefined and unknown services, would the full output be helpful? I did once have Akregator working, I'm not sure how long ago or what change might have broken it. The output now is not much different from the other day:
