Thanks. I did all those things, else how could I have mentioned the dbus dependency on www/gecko-mediaplayer and gnome-mplayer-1.0.9 (it is also "needed" by editors/abiword BTW). I'm not using dbus, as I said, and I'm not really trying to determine how to disable this dependency in other ports (if that is possible). I was merely curious why any FreeBSD ports would have a dependency on dbus when it is the stated intention of FreeBSD (IIRC) that dbus is not part of the future direction. I appreciate your reply, but you did not address that particular issue. Thanks again.
