I think you're being quite optimistic here. Portable HP-UX is not in
evidence nowadays, so it was presumably postponed, cancelled or renamed.

I've done a little digging into the virtualisation offerings for
Integrity machines, and could not find anything that looked like a
descendent, so it doesn't seem to have been renamed AFAICS. 

Postponement is possible, but the logical time to restart the beta would
have been when Itanium shipments ended in 2021. That does not seem to
have happened. 

So it would appear to have been cancelled.
