No. Almost all portable MD provide power to the mic connection,
which is intended for use with powered mics (they use to be more sensitive
than the non-powered ones). But, if you use an external box to:
- power an electret mic and raise its output level to line level
- raise the output level of a non-powered mic to line level
You'd be able to simply plug that output to the line-in of your
portable:
mic <-----> external box <------> portable's line in
... maybe with the added bonus of having pass filters to eliminate very
low frequencies (roll-off) that could cause rumble in the recording and
other goodies.

Not directly to the mic connection. You could raise its output
level to line level with an external adapter.

If you use mic that needs power, you can plug it directly to the
mic-in, the portable will power it. There's no need for external battery.
Some powered mics that have batteries need also to draw power from its mic
connection, or can use either, so it depends highly on the mic you're
using. Which mic is?

Stereo mini.
Hope it helps,
