sure, it's not there.

ok, this makes is clearer.

My dbus comes from www/firefox36:

TZAV> pwd
/usr/ports/www/firefox36
TZAV> make showconfig
===> The following configuration options are available for firefox-3.6.28,1:
     DBUS=on "Enable D-BUS support"
     SMB=off "Enable smb:// URI support using gnomevfs"
     DEBUG=off "Build a debugging image"
     LOGGING=off "Enable additional log messages"
     OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=off "Enable some additional optimizations"
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
TZAV> 

and firefox36 works fine.

I build from ports. Neither rekonq nor epiphany have
dbus options. My reading of the rekonq Makefile
is that it uses devel/dbus-qt4. Anyway, these are
installed:

TZAV> pkg info -xo dbus
dbus-1.4.14_2: devel/dbus
dbus-glib-0.94: devel/dbus-glib
eggdbus-0.6_1: devel/eggdbus
libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.0: devel/libdbusmenu-qt
qt4-dbus-4.7.4: devel/dbus-qt4
qt4-qdbusviewer-4.7.4: devel/qt4-qdbusviewer
TZAV> 

Many thanks
