Glad to hear you got it working. When installing kmymoney (and other kde
packages) via macports, this message should have appeared in your console:
"
Don't forget that dbus needs to be started as the local\
user (not with sudo) before any KDE programs will launch.
To start it run the following command:
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
"
So it is well documented on the mapcorts side, at least. I am sorry if
you missed seeing it.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hey, thanks so much for all your help! You were right, after running
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
KMyMoney booted up right away with no problems! I spent hours trying to
figure out this problem, and that's all it took! I wonder how many other
people out there like me run into this problem?! Feel free to post this
problem/solution in the appropriate places (sorry, I still don't know
how to open tickets, etc, lol)
Cheers,
Ben

I saw this on the macports-dev list, but I am replying on the user
list. I have been using kmymoney via macports for several years, and
it works fine. There are some challenges with using KDE software, as
noted here:

I suspect your problem is that you need to use launchctl to load
dbus, as noted in the wiki. You might also try running some other
simpler kde apps like kwrite to see if all kde apps are having
trouble or just kmymoney.

In any case, I've recently gotten an older 2010 MacBook Pro
running High Sierra to replace my equally old Windows
laptop, and I've been able to get everything working to my
liking except my accounting program, KMyMoney, and I'm
wondering if someone like you could help me!
I'm hardly familiar with this piece of software.
After many hours of trying to figure out how to make it work
via the insanely un-user-friendly
MacPorts/Xcode system, I still have not been able to get it
to work, except via a Windows 7
install inside of Parallels, which takes forever to boot up
(I'm not very patient...). On the
MacPorts page for KMyMoney, it says the 12 dependencies are:
xz cmake qt4-mac
aqbanking5 automoc kde4-runtime kdepimlibs4 libalkimia
libofx oxygen-icons phononpkgconfig
and yet when I install KMyMoney4 via Terminal, I end up
getting 298 other ports installed
alongside KMyMoney4,
