As the log says it's not actually gnome-terminal that fails but the activation of one of it's dependencies, 'dbus'. It seems you have a lingering 'org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist' file from a previous install. I would do as the log suggests and force the activation with 'port -f activate dbus'.

If you moved your /opt/local this is not surprising. If you get any more errors, try to see if they are of the same variety, ie. a file already present but outside of /opt/local and it should be safe to force the activation.
