Also I'm wondering: can't the session bus be started on demand?
It can, but it due to a bug in 10.4 "Tiger" it works only from 10.5 (hopefully ;-)) upwards. Just change the value of the `OnDemand`-key in the plist. Maybe Marcus, the current maintainer, could not only update the documentation in the portfile but also activate on-demand starting on 10.5 -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20505#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
