I believe that Zaon (?) has said that they'd be

be far lower than what we're seeing today.

Would that portable ADS-B equipment meet the NPRM requirements?

I doubt it since the NPRM only discusses ADS-B Out. To that end, you
apparently need a TSOd GPS/WAAS receiver which will not be portable.

Which is one of the main reasons the price tag is so high.

A more sensible approach would be to allow equipment classed like
handheld GPS for those that aren't going to be doing approaches into
Class B at minimums, but that isn't the proposal.
