The whole portfolio thing is a bit tricky. I don't think Adobe quite has it worked out yet. The Portfolio environment sort of takes over the Acrobat UI and blocks all the regular features out. But here's what you do. View one of the files in the portfolio. There should be an "Open" button on the top right of the toolbar. Click on this to open the file separately, i.e., outside the portfolio environment. Now you should be able to select attach to an email.

This can also be done from JavaScript. In the JavaScript environment the files in the portfolio are just regular file attachments.
