I was curious about this so actually spent a couple hours porting last night while I was watching TV. I did probably 15-20 ports and only once was I tipped over 50pp. Additionally, the majority of people I ported requested the port, and then weren't at the rings when I got there. I had 2 people request I run across a zone to where they were located as opposed to meeting me at the rings. I had someone wearing a fungi tunic throw me 13pp and then request full druid buffs (regen, ds, skin, etc) in addition to the port I just gave him. I had someone else ask me to port their friend, and the friend just jet without paying. I'm not sure if the guy expected me to come to him to get tipped, but I wasn't going to do that.
All in all I made under 400pp in over 2 hours of porting. I don't really need the plat and was doing it purely to see how much porters make these day, but it is definitely not something I'm going to be doing again. I'm honestly kind of amazed anyone is willing to port for plat on a regular basis with returns like that.
