I don't know about portable node.js, but I'm reasonably sure that node.js lifted from a zip deployment will leave crumbs in the operating system's directories. The thing I wonder is, if you tried this on a secure machine, whether it would send up some alarm because the disk is being written to.
Since the idea of a portable tiddlywiki is to not leave any traces, this is an important consideration.
