Welcome...
Welcome to PortableApps.com. Can you provide us with a bit more info on this app? A link to their site, description, the specific license, etc.
Thanks,

Use DIA
Sorry, Star UML is a really old software
You can use DIA portable that's a good UML editor... not rational rose but make the work (like Star UML)
StarUML vs Dia
Dia 0.97 is a fair suggestion lordmax, but as far as I know it does not support UML2.0. This means that it serves to build the network illustrations (has extensive cisco libraries), but when it comes to UML, it does not have the abilities of "parent-son" package relations, swinlines for differentiation, a proper UC and Business process modeling etc.
I myself have been trained on 'Enterprise Architect' which is not as reach as 'Rose' but is still extremely powerful compared to opensource free tools. As far as I can judge StarUML is the only Free tool that comes near to both distinguished software.
I tried just straightforward using the 'package factory' tool for U3 to envelope the library of my StarUML, and then just unzipping it and running (this sounds silly..).
So far both ran smoothly, but this may be just because I already have the required registry and/or dll lifes in place.
Going to try it somewhere without an install, and will see if it still runs. If so, I will package it with the portableapps packager and donate to the public happily.
Be safe.

Doesn't
PackageFactory doesn't make anything portable. It's the equivalent of just copying your files from your local PC to your portable drive. It's just to get things to show up in the U3 menu.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
using the 'package factory'
What you just did was, literally put the files in a .zip, rename .zip to .u3p, then unzip. That's what PackageFactory does. PackageFactory doesn't create a portable app like ThinStall or anything like that. About the only really useful thing it does is generate the U3 Manifest, but that's beside the point here...

So what can I do to use
So what can I do to use StarUML as a portable App?

Yess, your're in right... sigh

Had you searched here? http://www.uml.org/#Links-Tools
maybe can found something interesting.
more on UML
I'd just make a little search on sourceforge and I'd find this

BoUml in particular seem interesting.
