Maybe you should consider creating D-bindings for your C++ engine 
and write a small game for it in D before you start porting?

If your goal is to have fun I suggest you write something in D 
rather than port existing code. Otherwise you most likely will 
end up with "why is this hard in D" rather than "this is much 
more fun in D".
