No, DBUS is optimized to be a local bus.  You can however write relays
that will relay messages from one bus to another.  That would be a
separate layer that needs to think about remote security issues.

I don't think there has been any effort though I could be wrong.  It
wouldn't be that hard as all the platform specific code are in one
header and source file dbus/sbus-sysdeps.(c|h).
