There wasn't a big ports update for me, so I'm lost as to why I'm getting this error:
Code: 
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Error spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=cde917e1beba966ff9271543528c0a5e --binary-syntax --close-stderr': Child process exited with code 1)

Cleared the temp file, no errors in /var/log/messages, dbus is loaded and /etc/rc.conf has it enabled. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that doesn't seem to work.
 
After trying everything found in the forums and via DuckDuckGo/Google, and reinstalling everything including devel/dbus, nothing worked.

The only thing I did today was (in order):
1. Updated ports
2. Reinstalled www/firefox and mail/thunderbird (still received the errors)
3. Commented out the following line in /etc/make.conf
Code: 
#DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python-2.7 python2=2.7 python3=3.3
4. And ran portmaster devel/dbus

Now the errors are gone. Mind blown. :q
