Code portability is generally defined as C code (in the case of C) that adheres to the rules of the C standards and is Architecture (Pentium, PowerPC, MIPS, etc) as well as Platform (PC, Mac OS, Linux, etc) independent.  All you need to do with code portable code is recompile the application under the a new platform.

Binary portability refers to compiled code - tranformed into binary that is immediately usable (executable) under a compatible platform - e.g., compatible processor.
