I think it is quite possible. However, you'd probably need a new system dbus config file, if nothing else. But here's the interesting part: how does libdbus talk to the system bus? I don't know whether the path to the system bus' Unix domain socket is hardcoded in libdbus at build time, or what. We can certainly change the location of the system bus daemon's socket in system.conf, but I'm unsure how to point libdbus there. It's not an environment variable like the session bus AFAIK.
