To keep this from happening, why cannot we commit > /usr/ports/GIDs to /usr/src/etc/group to better reserve them? I think it was done this way as not all ports committers have src bits. Plus, not everyone installs all ports, so mandating UIDs and GIDs on all systems might be a waste. But as I said, you aren't restricted to 556. You can create a messagebus group before installing dbus, and the port will simply use that group with whatever gid you assign it.
