I stumbled across a Pagerank checker (http://www.pagerank.net) and I ran a check. Here's what I found:
http://www.portableapps.com has PageRank 0/10.
http://www.portablefreeware.com has PageRank 5/10.
Need to optimize Google or something...

Google has downplayed it quite a bit recently and isn't using it as much in conjunction with search engine rankings. Many newer sites (less than 6 months old) like this one just come up as zero despite ranking quite highly in results (try searching for portable apps).
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Try searching for portable firefox
Your site comes before this one

it's mainly because:
1. It's been around longer
2. It has more incoming links for the term portable firefox (primarily due to #1)

What about having a permenent redirect?

It would probably be better for my ranking to redirect, but having the link there with an announcement allows people to update their links and bookmarks.
I usually err on the side of helping the end user.
