I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are you saying tha you
want a plugin to do the same thing as your WPF application does or are
you talking about a plugin that does something completely different ?

Dynamic Playlists can't be exported because they are created a few
tracks at the time, so you can't easily get the whole dynamic playlist
through the Dynamic Playlist plugin. 

It might be possible to do something through the Database Query plugin,
but you would have to redefine the dynamic playlist as a query
configuration and then export it as XML or some other format
supported.

What kind of portable player are we talking about ?
If you are talking about iPod's, I once started to implement a plugin
that implemented direct synchronization between SqueezeCenter and iPod.
I never finished it because I purchased a larger 16GB iPod Touch which
could contain all necessary music so synchronization wasn't needed as
frequenly as with my old 6GB iPod Mini. 
The code is still available under the erlandplugins Google Code project
and I'm still planning to finish it some time, however one issue at the
moment is that it won't work with newer iPod's due to Apple
restrictions which no longer allows you to mount the iPod filesystem.
