I think the main dependencies of libupnp are BSD sockets and 
POSIX threads.

There are patches on the SourceForge page for FreeBSD and Win32.
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7189&atid=307189)

The BSD patch is trivial, the Win32 patch is a little more involved but
basically seems to consist of the usual BSD to Winsock modifications
and some conversion routines not found in Windows apparently.

It looks like a portable tree could be created with relatively low effort,
but it probably won't happen upstream since the project seems to be
dormant since 2003.

cheers,
Christian
