(Less sure about dbus.) Upstream X.org has moved away from HAL, and I am pretty sure that on current FreeBSD it is possible to run without HAL as well. There's a quarterly project report entry for getting dbus/X integration to fully replace HAL which gives the "near future" bit. Unfortunately, I have lost track of what the current best practice is for X, HAL (or not), and dbus on FreeBSD. -Ben
