dbus' rc.d script already does something similar:

dbus_prestart() {
        dir="@VARBASE@/run/dbus"
        if @TEST@ ! -d $dir; then
                @MKDIR@ $dir
                @CHMOD@ 0755 $dir
                @CHOWN@ @DBUS_USER@:@DBUS_GROUP@ $dir
        fi
        @PREFIX@/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure
}
