a positive mention of systemd somewhere would be a good start. Hell, a positive mention of systemd anywhere on an openbsd package maintainer's site would be worth settling for.
As for dbus objects, GNOME calls systemd's interfaces to dbus, not dbus directly[1]. Calling dbus, which is already fully supported in *BSD, would be far preferable, and we might not even be having this dicsussion if they did.
here's another post with a tad more information on what GNOME needed in order to work on BSD (or even Slackware!)[1][2]. There was a lot of work in this release, and in no way am I attempting to diminish their work. I merely wished to make it clear that systemd was an obstacle they did not reimplement, but rather overcame with the use of shims.
