I'm not sure that's your problem -- I just downloaded Portfolio and PerformanceAnalytics and built them both from source with no problem. (So something's afoot with the r-forge build and I have a hunch it's a dependency on a more recent xts than is available on CRAN, but I could be wrong) Can you install from the command line? svn checkout + R CMD install. I'd start with building xts from source (admittedly harder because it has c code unlike PA) but so goes dependency management. Since you're on Windows, I'd also just (re-)remind you to make sure your path has no spaces in it.
