Selling the Heliar might pay for a lot of film and travel ;-p It could be a great portrait lens but it might be too clumsy to use on the Zone VI even if you managed to adapt the lenboard with some creative woodworking. It would be better on a monorail that uses the Toyo lensboard it is already mounted to. You could buy an entire Toyo G for only a few hundred $.
You can make excellent portraits with the Symmars too, many people have.
