Now I know that some folks are talking that it sometimes breaks portability when swithcing drives, but I was wondering if my case is the same.
If I have the Songbird Portable on my External Harddrive, as well as on my USB, would there be a problem w/ copying the song folders and the playlist that it is related to on my ExternalHDD directly into the same folder area on my USB.
That should work fine right? Or would I have to do an import/export?

But by moving songs around you'll have to import them into songbird portable, and your playlists, I'd play it safe and export and import them.

I apparently read your query wrong. Yes, if you move things to the EXACT same location on your USB from your Ext. HDD or vice-versa, it should work flawlessly and you won't notice a change. Think of it as just switching computers.
Think of your library of music and Songbird Portable as one thing. They are on one drive and know where each other are (path relative to root that is). If you move them both to another drive and keep them both in the exact same path structure relative to the root, you're fine.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I was thinking of moving both bits as one unit. My ExternalHDD has all my songs _ever_
while my usb has what I want for the next few weeks or so. It's the moving of Songbird Portable and some playlists and the folders in that playlist that I move, as a whole to my usb.
Hmmm, I should just probably skip using the usb one and just sync it to my sansa clip. It's rare that I actually do listen to the music from my usb before it gets sent over to my exernalHDD.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
