It's not just Kojima; the games themselves barely acknowledge Portable Ops. It was released in '06, but only one of its plot points (Zero gathering up the Philosopher's Legacy and using it to found the Patriots) is particularly relevant to the rest of the series, and its most direct sequel (Peace Walker) only references it once AFAIK, not even an hour into the game. What is the reference? It's Kaz talking about "leaving all that crap in San Heironymo behind"...
