Answer

Yes — playing Darius, Trifarian as your second card of the turn both gives him +2 Might this turn and readies him.

His ability is "When you play your second card in a turn, give me +2 might this turn and ready me." A card counts as played only once it has fully resolved and entered the board, so Darius is already in play when the trigger checks — and he sees himself as that second card. (FAQ #1119, #6776, #2483)

One clarification: that's +2 Might, not a Buff counter. No Buff is placed, so effects that care about units being buffed won't see anything here. And per , if he's somehow already ready when the ability resolves, the ready portion simply does nothing — the +2 Might still applies (FAQ #1904).

Also note: if he's the third card of the turn, the ability does nothing, because he was never on the board to "see" the second card.
