no browser starts, possible dbus-launch problem?

After recent upgrade of many ports I cannot start either
firefox2 or kazehakase on alpha FBSD 6.4-release. (Both
worked fine before the upgrade).
When I try to launch either browser I see something like this:
% ps ax|grep dbus
94452 ?? Ss 0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 7 --print-address 9 --sessi
94448 p0 S+ 0:00.05 dbus-launch --autolaunch c147699dcd782c00b8cb56ec49707d8a --binary-syntax
94451 p0 S+ 0:00.00 dbus-launch --autolaunch c147699dcd782c00b8cb56ec49707d8a --binary-syntax
94463 p2 R+ 0:00.00 grep dbus
%
The dbus-launch processes never exit, which they should do
according the man page. I wonder if this is the problem?
With kazehakase I get a further error message when I try to kill unresponsive
kazehakase process:
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session)
Please help.
many thanks
