So after 6 hours of an attempted uninstall, this is all I've got:

I could let the thing stagnate for a week but I think it's hopeless. Obviously deactivating dbus, even though there aren't any programs running (I rewrote my .xinitrc file so gnome is not active because I thought it might hang otherwise. It hung anyway.), is going to be a long and arduous process. This dbus 0.61_2 version appears to be too well integrated... 'gnome-vfs' is pretty much tied to everything.
So my only option appears to be one suggested by another user... remove directory /opt and start a new install of Macports. Any other ideas?
So now "port installed dbus" should show: ---> The following versions of dbus are currently installed: ---> dbus @1.0.2_2 which means that dbus is installed but not activated. If this is the case, try sudo port activate dbus @1.0.2_2 (the final argument shouldn't be needed, but just to make sure), and then try sudo port install dbus-glib and let us know how you go. On the other hand, if "port installed dbus" still lists both dbus versions (i.e. sudo port -f uninstall dbus @0.61_2 didn't work), then you have another (and bigger) problem.
