I don't think buses really depend on X, what happen is that normally a
session bus created by login. Please take a look at man page of
dbus-launch the section AUTOMATIC LAUNCHING seems to tell about the
relation of X and --autolaunch.

OTOH it shouldn't be difficult to have obexd on system bus so you
wouldn't have to bother creating an session exclusively for obexd.
