    Portable version is independent from your Windows registry. It can be anywhere on your pc in any drive, even on a flashdrive, you can plug it in in any windows computer and it will run fine.
    Other Kontakt version – that you need to install – will integrate itself to your system.
    There is a big advantage of Portable version, you can add multiple libraries at once, if those are located inside the same folder.
    So, to answer your question, you can easily migrate your libraries, just adding them with Portable's fantastic Library Manager.
    Consider, however, that there are libraries that require to be installed with an installer, in that case you have to do that, no matter what you wish.
    There are also some libraries that require to hold their GUI elements in Kontakt's "pictures" folder.
    You have to migrate those files into the portable's folder/UserData/Kontakt/pictures
    from the earlier installed Kontakt that has these files under Documents/Native Instruments/Kontakt 5/pictures

    I don't think there is any other way or workaround to do it with less effort.

    But why do you need to merge them? I mean, why do you want to merge the libraries and not using both Kontakts in your DAW?
    As Portable is an independent version, you can use it parallel with the earlier installed Kontakt in your DAW.
    You can load your existing libraries in Kontakt 5 and load the newer ones in this Portable 6.x.x
