So, I think the second column on the porting page should be removed entirely. I feel winPenPack is a distribution and not a port, and therefore this would go as well. (I need to look again to see how/why this was even suggested). I think we would take on an incredible amount of work if we decided to start listing distribution entities
There are surely many more (say, 100x) people asking for a "portable" version for Windows (and we have WinPenPack already available, and I hope PortableApps will join soon) than people asking for a BSD, Solaris or OS/2 port. So I feel that removing portable versions would be a disservice to users.
Actually I don't know how many other distributions are there, but the only requests I've seen so far on mailing lists and forums are for portable versions and, to a smaller extent, for versions compatible with older Linux glibc versions (and Ariel provided those too, on his personal web space, and I believe they should be listed on the same page too).
