I feel like there are two different ways of looking at the portal. The portal could be viewed as a window of sorts; if you stick your arm through some of you will be on one side, some of you on the other. If that's the case, then the Chief's section of the ship is somewhere close to the remmenants of the Ark, and the planet could be the planet at the center of the ark (or some other planet, though considering the ark is outside of our galaxy, I doubt that). Now, you could also view the portal as a tunnel of sorts (that's my view), where the ship goes through a slipspace tunnel or something similar. That would mean that the Chief's half of the ship was inside the tunnel (slipspace) when the portal collapsed, meaning he dropped out of slipspace in some unknown region of space and time (slipspace does distort time, so time travel is a possibility [though not probable]). This could me he's anywhere. Anything past that would be complete speculation, so I'm done.
