Well, I believe you are supposed to just copy the
/etc/dbus-1/session.conf to the same directory with the name
session-local.conf (or if the conf file you need is system.conf, copy
to system-local.conf), and then direct your changes to that file.

 It is done in XML, however, the man-page for dbus-daemon has a lot of
information on the parameters for the conf file, so it shouldn't be
too difficult to tweak. (See
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-daemon.1.html under
"Configuration File.")
