                          'conditions'   => '',
                          'order'        => '',
                          'dependent'    =>  true,
                          'foreignKey'   => 'user_id'
                    )

            if (!empty($this->request->data)) {
                $this->request->data['Profile']['user_id'] = $this->User->id;
                $this->User->Profile->save($this->request->data);
            }
            $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved'));
            $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'homes','action' => 'index'));
        } else {

public $name = 'Profile';
var $belongsTo = array('User' =>
                       array('className'  => 'User',
                             'conditions' => '',
                             'order'      => '',
                             'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
                       )

Update your form:

           <?php
                echo $this->Form->input('username');
                echo $this->Form->input('password');
                echo $this->Form->input('Profile.firstname');
                echo $this->Form->input('Profile.lastname');
                echo $this->Form->input('Profile.email');
            ?>

Also, the following if statement is overkill:

if (!empty($this->request->data)) {

clearly there is request data or you would not have gotten past the user save.
