I don't think that's true: dbus is "just" a message bus - an IPC
mechanism that different processes use to communicate. It has nothing to
do with X11 or any other windowing protocol.
The dbus-daemon manual page says:
The systemwide daemon is largely used for broadcasting system events, such as changes
to the printer queue, or adding/removing devices.
The per-session daemon is used for various interprocess communication among desktop
applications (however, it is not tied to X or the GUI in any way).
What makes you think that it requires X11?

Sure it could: you send a message on the dbus saying "play a sound" and some other
process listening on the dbus gets the message and plays a sound.

Bad idea imo.
