It should not have been necessary to "sudo port install" more than once. If you 
tell us more about the dependency problems you encountered perhaps we can fix 
that.

What did you change permissions to?

The message was telling you to change ownership (not permissions) of 
~/Library/Preferences/KDE (not of ~).

This whole dbus business baffles me, and I'm not sure if the above is normal or 
if it is the source of the problem you're having.

Of course; a .app is an application you double-click in the Finder; in the 
filesystem, it is in fact a directory and you don't use it in the Terminal like 
that.

Correct; there is no "amarok" in your PATH, nor, I'm guessing, is there 
expected to be; you're expected to launch Amarok.app by double-clicking.

After launching /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/Amarok.app in the Finder by 
double-clicking it, I'd double-click /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and 
look for error messages.
