Assuming it was easy enough to port it to the new platform and not too expensive, which would be the best platform to port UQM to?

Wow! A massive vote in favour of the Gamecube!
As an NGC owner I've noticed that my humble Cube comes in for regular criticism from hardcore PS2/X-Box owners! it's nice to be in the company of fellow Nintendophiles!!

No accounting for taste, apparently... Or lack of marketing sense.
Playstation would be the best console to port UQM to. It does, after all, have the largest user base. Once that's done with and assuming the UQM develops a larger fan base due to that port, other systems could easily be considered.

you left the dreamcast from that survey, and considering the dreamcast homebrew community is still thriving (i played a source port of rise of the triad on it) I think that would be the most hassle-free place to start. and since an unmodded dreamcast can play a homebrews that have been burnt to blank cd's......

I wonder how the graphics would hold up against what people expect to see nowadays. Id assume it would be less than your average new game in price. Id buy it for whatever system, but a portable system would be nice. PSP or DS.

I think it would work really well on the DS...
The bottom screen could be navigation (star map/quasispace) - using the stylus to select the desired system. The bottom screen could also be used for alien conversations - using the stylus to select the relevant response.
The top screen could then be using for actual space flight and combat.
Hmmm the more I think about it, the more I think it would rock....if only I were a sh*t hot developer.......

Well I'm sure we're all grateful for that positive contribution 
I think that the portable format would be the way to go, although I hadn't considered the DC homebrew scene as it's been years since I last had a working DC

The Gamepark 2X, a dual-ARM linux handheld soon to be out. All the SDKs are OSS, so no cost to create the port (beyond the $180 for the machine).

And IIRC, someone has compiled and run UQM on OpenEmbedded on an ARM processor; the GP2X hopefully isn't too different.

How about a whole nation swindled into buying a cheaply made, underpowered, unreliable and nasty looking lump of black plastic that only caters to fans of uber violence and sports...
