Not sure you will have much luck with KDE5 on DragonFly, as it is very
much a Linux oriented desktop environment. The PCBSD folks (now TrueOS)
used to support KDE4, but eventually started work on a QT5 based BSD
oriented desktop called Lumina, which does work well on DragonFly.

Of course if anyone has actually attempted to get KDE5 to work on
DragonFly, they will likely chime in...

Yes, it seems that dbus support is there but the directories which the
OS "cannot find" really are not there.
I have installed dozens of packages with "pkg search <qt5 or
whatever>" followed by "pkg install <whatever>" that is not really the
issue.
The issue is the login screen of KDE locks me out. I looked for the
launcher itself to tell it to dbus-launch with no real success.
I installed KDE with mkdesktop as root. My last guess is that I can
launch KDE from a script in root. However there are several
directories which really do not exist.

Make sure /etc/rc.conf has:

You should be able to add and remove packages at-will with the
'pkg' program as root. If it isn't on the system you can
bootstrap it with:
cd /usr
make pkg-bootstrap

I have spent all day working on this, since 8 a.m. it
is now 1:45. X11 and DBUS did not configure properly.
Mkdesktop is the pkg I used to build KDE and now,
because /var/run/dbus is literaly not there I cannot
log in.
I need to bypass the desktop to get console access. I
have used the live image several times and made
changes which ultimately have not produced results.
I have changed the entry for tty8, I have written an
.xinitrc, I have changed the .login and .login-config
both to BAK.login. And I get nowhere.
At this point I want to remove KDE, but I can't. Using
the live image as root does not allow me to remove any
packages.
How can I get around the desktop login?

Also I have noticed that /etc/X11/ is empty
