IIRC Calibre portable will start with the last library used.

Not sure what you mean by "portabilize", the OS/File system (Windows/NTFS, MacOS/HFS+ or Linux/ExtN) does the work of resolving symlinks it to physical locations. If the symlink is 'in' the calibre portable directory, that's all calibre knows, when it opens the folder symlink it sees a metadata.db, which is all it cares about.
