That is good news! Also, at least for tdebase, the preprocessor checks already
exclude the console kit code when not defined. Checking the running processes,
it looks like everything required from Arch is already started and running:

/sbin/init
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile
--systemd-activation
/sbin/agetty --noclear tty1
/opt/trinity/bin/tdm
 \_ /usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-LI4Qla
 \_ -:0
     \_ /bin/sh /opt/trinity/bin/starttde
         \_ /opt/trinity/bin/tdeinit_phase1
             \_ kwrapper ksmserver --windowmanager twin
/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon
/usr/bin/ssh-agent -s
dcopserver [tdeinit] --nosid --suicide
kded [tdeinit] --new-startup
start_tdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup

All we need is to provide is the minimum porting requirements:

Minimal porting (without multi-seat) requires the following:

1. Remove/disable all code responsible for registering your service with ConsoleKit.
2. Make sure to register your greeter session via the PAM session stack, and
make sure the PAM session modules include pam_systemd. Also, make sure to set
the session class to "greeter." This may be done by setting the environment
variable XDG_SESSION_CLASS to "greeter" with pam_misc_setenv() or setting the
"class=greeter" option in the pam_systemd module, in order to allow applications
to filter out greeter sessions from normal login sessions.
3. Make sure to register your logged in session via the PAM session stack as
well, also including pam_systemd in it.
4. Optionally, use pam_misc_setenv() to set the environment variables XDG_SEAT
and XDG_VTNR. The former should contain "seat0", the latter the VT number your
session runs on. pam_systemd can determine these values automatically but it's
nice to pass these variables anyway. In summary: porting a display manager from
ConsoleKit to systemd primarily means removing code, not necessarily adding any
new code. Here, a cheers to simplicity!

It looks like #2 is where the work is. Coding wizard like you - no sweat..
