That's a harmless notification. If you want to quash it add these lines:

1. /etc/rc.conf:
dbus_enable=YES

2. ~/.profile
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/runtime-${LOGNAME}
test -d $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ||
	install -d -m 700 -o $(id -u) -g $(id -g) $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

3. ~/.xinitrc
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/dbus-launch -a -z "${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" ];
then	eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)
fi
