That was one of my complaints with Portable Ops (although Kojima didn't direct), that Frank was a ninja from the start.

But as for the OP's questions, I believe we'll see the clones, since the trailers openly make mention of Les Enfants Terribles. It's also highly likely we'll see the Sons of Big Boss. Ocelot, Liquid, and Mantis are all pretty obviously in the game. Sniper Wolf joins Big Boss in the Middle East around this time. Some theorize that Vulcan Raven is related to Code Talker, because they are both Natives with mystical abilities. That just leaves Decoy Octopus to fill out the rest.

The characters from MG1 are more obscure, but I wouldn't rule out there appearance entirely. The more popular characters for MGS1 take priority though.
