I had the same problem and had to give up. Dbus logs are saying that no valid external protocols were found.

REJECTED EXTERNAL DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 ANONYMOUS

498557: [dbus-auth.c(1704):handle_auth] server: Trying mechanism EXTERNAL
498557: [dbus-auth.c(1624):process_data] server: data: '4294967295'
498557: [dbus-auth.c(1026):handle_server_data_external_mech] server: no credentials, mechanism EXTERNAL can't authenticate 498557: [dbus-auth.c(430):shutdown_mech] server: Shutting down mechanism EXTERNAL

It happens only for the system dbus. I made some reseach and it occurs when dbus is trying to reserve the name of a service. Gio returns:

Lost the name [...] on session bus.

I verified the pam confiruration and it looked ok.

Overall:
-upowerd crashes
-ConsoleKit can't make a session active
-X login is freezing a minute or two
-The session menu of xfce is freezing also for some time
-any logoff from xfve is freezing temporarilly and leaves some applications opened.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the problem, but I had to give up. My workaround was to disable the global dbus service. Dbus is still available for applications, but I think that dports is disabling it for applications as well, when possible.

    Hello

I seem to have troubles getting polkit working. I have in /etc/rc.conf

    ---/etc/rc.conf---
    hald_enable="YES"
    dbus_enable="YES"
    --- ---

    and this combination results in dbus, hald and consolekit services
    running, but polkitd fails

    ---/var/log/messages---
    Jan  8 17:42:55 dfly dbus[984]: [system] Activating service
    name='org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit' (using servicehelper)
    Jan  8 17:42:55 dfly console-kit-daemon[1010]: WARNING:
    polkit_authority_get: Error getting authority: Error initializing
    authority: Exhausted all available authentication mechanisms (tried:
    EXTERNAL, DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, ANONYMOUS) (available: EXTERNAL,
    DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, ANONYMOUS)
    --- ---

    I ran a quick test on a FreeBSD virtual machine, the above two lines
    in rc.conf start dbus, hald, consolekit and polkitd and all seems
    fine. I wonder if I've missed anything on DragonFly?

    Cheers
