Not sure if you figured this out yet leafcutterant but you can get Bisq to be portable* for the Windows family.  Start by installing the application directly on the USB medium.  By default Bisq stores application data at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming.

To get around this there is two things you can do.
1. Copy your Bisq AppData to the USB stick
2. Create a shortcut of the application you installed on USB.
3. Edit the shortcut so that Target ends with  --appDataDir "D:\AppDataFolder" where D:\AppDataFolder is the path to the AppData on USB.

The drawback of this method is that I don't believe shortcuts support relative paths, meaning you would have to assign the same letter to your drive each time you wanted to use it.

The second method can get around this.
Create a new shortcut on the USB drive.  In the target place: %COMSPEC% /C .\Bisq\Bisq.exe --appDataDir ".\AppData"  
Replace .\Bisq\Bisq.exe with the relative path to the exe and .\AppData with the path to the AppData.

Hope this helps.
