Well, yeah, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for it.

I did say it was not the dbus you download from freedesktop.org, didn't I? ;-/
My understanding is that it is not just a port. Re-written from scratch, I think. Stuff that just tries to be a lazy man's sockets largely left out, I think.
I would not say that you were exactly wrong. Portability is not just a matter of getting things to compile, and there are some features of dbus that one would just as soon leave out when re-implementing it.
