There's already three client libraries: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/dbus-client http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-dbus http://hackage.haskell.org/package/DBus
Perhaps there is some confusion? The D-Bus server, or "bus", is a service which allows many-to-many communication between clients. You do not need an implementation of the server in Haskell to use D-Bus in Haskell applications, and (to my knowledge) there is no API for the reference server.
