I'm not sure that this will answer your question but bear with me.

Usually I use lsof to list any listening TCP or UDP ports, with following command:

lsof -P -i -n

The result will clearly show you what application listening to what port. Now this is I'm not really sure if I'm correct: by default Dbus doesn't have any listening port.
 
Hope that would help you.
