I just installed and successfully started dbus on a CentOS 6.2
container. I would ask your provider why you can't run dbus on the
container (that bug was fixed over 2 years ago), and, perhaps try
another image. Of course, you can always forgo certmonger and manually
integrate your system into an IPA realm. You would lose the
certificate auto-renew, but everything else should work great.
