Also keep in mind that, no matter what happens in the FA Cup Final itself, Portsmouth is guaranteed to be playing in Europe next year (the Europa League - former UEFA Cup). Since Chelsea will be playing in the Champions' League barring the most epic late-season collapse in the history of sports, the Europa League spot for the English FA Cup winner will go to the other Cup finalist (assuming that Chelsea wins), and that's Portsmouth. So that's a little something for the suffering fans of Pompey to look forward to next season - European football at Fratton Park.
