Nevermind. :-{
A RELENG_6-build dbus & hald work fine when RELENG_7 or HEAD has the
misc/compat6x port installed:

I had some order- and timing-of-operations issues.
In particular, I found that augmenting the begining of my xdm
start-up script with:
until hald=3D$(check_process hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse); [ -n "${ha=
ld}" ]; do
sleep 1
done
# Stupid hack -- the above check is evidently insufficient to
# ensure that X.org can actually "initialise context: (null) ((null=
))"
sleep 7
seems to allow things to work. (The value "7" seconds was determined
empirically.) I had started checking for "hald", then checked for
"hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse"; when that was still insufficient, I
added the 7-second sleep.
(My xdm start-up script is invoked via init(8), out of /etc/ttys.)
Peace,
david
