It's been a while since I've been to a job interview... but either they looked at it in a conference room with a computer, or we met in their office and looked at it there. One company simply asked me to show them one site that was most applicable to the work I would do with them.
Other times they look at it before the interview. I think that must always be the case. Doesn't make sense to have an interview without seeing the portfolio first.
At one company many years ago we used to build what amounted to a sales deck in Director and use that, bringing our own computer & projector if needed. I suppose one would do that with Flash these days.
One time I was asked to showcase my work at an event and I just put screenshots of my work on a nice backdrop and into iPhoto, then did a slideshow from that. I've also put local versions on the built-in OS X web server and run them off that if I wasn't sure about having net access.
