A simple "sudo port selfupdate ; sudo port outdated" should take care of uninstalling and reinstalling most outdated versions of software that depended on the older version of dbus. Note that dbus version 0.61 was a development version with an unstable API while dbus version 1.x.y has a stable API and it is a good idea therefore to make sure everything works with the new version.

So I'm new at this. Can I just type 'port uninstall dbus' on a command line? How do I find those programs that are affected by the newinstall, just run everything? Shouldn't this be a consideration in the release of a new version that looks like its capable of so much havoc?

Uninstalling the old version and installing the new version is recommended. However, some programs that were bound against the old version may nor run correctly. These programs should then be rebuilt.

I checked for dbus. It's invoked on my command line to start GNOME. So a ran a search and an install and got this trace:
port search dbus dbus devel/dbus 1.0.2 A message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. dbus-glib devel/dbus-glib 0.73 Glib bindings for the dbus message bus system.

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
If I uninstall the older version what flaky behaviour can I expect trying to install the new one?

So you're trying to install dbus-glib, and it can't find the dbus libraries. I imagine this would be fixed by installing the dbus port first. Please try that and let us know if that fixes it. Then we can add that as a dependency to the dbus-glib port so that this situation is handled automatically in the future.
Um... Sorry, I see that dbus-glib already declares dbus as a dependency.
So is dbus installed?
