This will *redirect* everything starting with “portfolio”.  It can be 
simplified to, thereby improved (unless you really want to redirect 
everything, which is doubtful) to

  Redirect "/portfolio" "/page.php?name=portfolio"

mod_redirect, _not_ mod_alias, is the proper way here because with mod_alias 
you map URL-references to the *server’s filesystem* instead (possibly 
*above* the DOCUMENT_ROOT), and hopefully there is not going to be a 
publicly accessible *directory* with the path “/pages”:

<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html>

This will *rewrite* *everything* starting with “portfolio” *and* continue; 
for it to be equivalent to the above, it has to be

  RewriteRule "^/portfolio" "/page.php?name=portfolio" [redirect,last]

But firstly, not redirecting is better in this case because then the URI 
remains type-agnostic (so you should remove “redirect” and keep “last”), and 
secondly the problem described above remains.  Something like

  RewriteRule "^/portfolio/?$" "/page.php?name=portfolio&%{QUERY_STRING}" 
[noescape,last]

could work (watch for word-wrap).
