I have putty installed on my laptop (Win7) which is configured with many many server connections. I installed Putty portable on a USB drive because I thought it would be useful should I not have my laptop and need to access servers from another computer.
Is there an easy way to export all the setting in my current Putty set-up on my local machine to the portable version installed on my USB drive?

What you need to do is export the settings from the registry.
regedit(type it into the search box in the start menu and press enter).HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham.X:\PortableApps\PuTTYPortable\Data\putty.reg(considering the path where you have PuTTY Portable installed).After that it should work. You may need to update some paths; I'm not sure.

I'm using Windows 7 and PortableApps v10.0.1 and I got this to work after making a slight adjustment to step 4 of Chris's instructions:
regeditHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTathamFile > Export...X:\PortableApps\PuTTYPortable\Data\settings\putty.regSorry about that. It should indeed be in the "settings" subdirectory.
