I don't think anyone has done this. 

MPI was started (SGI did the original work, Dale prodded it, as did I), 
but it became difficult to support MPI in the current NAL.  Portals 
shouldn't be too difficult if you can put together a connection based 
abstraction with send/recv/accept/connect, but I don't know if you will 
be able to use many of the fancy features of Portals.  It would 
definately be nice to port general interfaces (Portals, MPI, VIA, RDMA) 
instead of specific hardware (IB, Quadrics, Myrinet, etc)...
