I'm also fighting with dbus problems... I did not have simipar  
problems with kdelibs-4.0.0

First, try to build dbus with the "no_x11" variant. (does anyone know  
*why* x11 is the default?) to prevent X11 from launching each time you  
start a KDE app.

Then, the mac_initialize_dbus function looks in the environment for  
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. If this does not exists, it looks for  
DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET in the current environment and if this  
fails too it looks in the environment of launchd (via launchctl's  
gentenv). I don't know where the dbus-daemon should actually be  
started (perhaps Benjamin could help here, he has written this code).
However, you can start it manually and let it set the needed env-vars  
for you.
Try in the terminal:
$ eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`
$ /Applications/KDE4/dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/dolphin

bye,
Jonas
