Not really. Well--maybe--but not in the way you think, and likely this won't happen for a bit.
Portable applications rely on a total lack of shared libraries; rather the complete autonomous packaging of everything needed to accomplish a particular task, and without installing anything. CoApp on the other hand, is focused around packaging MSIs (kindof the antithesis of portable, eh) and providing a reliable and serviceable method for handling dependencies. Now, that being said, It's certainly *possible* to transform a CoApp packaged app & it's libraries into one that doesn't do that, but you lose everything that makes CoApp valuable; well, with the exception that you still get an app out the other end. Truthfully, I'd probably consider spending time about a year from now building a tool to build a portable app from a package feed, but not any time soon.
