dbus is an infrastructure component that allows applications to talk  
with eachother (at least that is what I understood). In GIMP dbus is  
used to handle the opening of images from outside (the finder in our  
example) and only to start GIMP once.

dbus installs a so called startup item which starts dbus with OS X.  
If everything goes well, you should be able to find its process:

axelwernicke$ ps -aux | grep dbus
axelwern  8538   0.3 -0,0    27452    516  p2  S+    7:48am   0:00.01  
grep dbus
messageb   167   0.0 -0,0    28544     64  ??  Ss    5:42pm    
0:00.00 /sw/bin/dbus-daemon --system
axelwern   572   0.0 -0,0    28544    140  ??  Ss    5:58pm    
0:00.00 /sw/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address
root       957   0.0 -0,0    28544    140  ??  Ss    6:07pm    
0:00.00 /sw/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 10 --print-address
root        34   0.0 -0,0    27836    360  ??  Ss    5:42pm    
0:00.02 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=dbus --start-cmd /opt/loc

If not, you could try to start dbus by hand (sorry, I do not know how  
this is done) or reboot your machine - eeek :(

Hope this helps,
