It has already been noted that such a system seems already to be in 
place and there is no need to redirect anything on-wiki. Last one was:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump_%28proposals%29&diff=99604228&oldid=99592851

These links all work (also with on-wiki internal linking):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Main_page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Main_page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Main_Page

Pick the one you like. :-)

For comparison, the Swedes have the aliases:

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Huvudsida
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huvudsida

Their 
http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mainpage&action=edit 
is "Portal:Huvudsida" so they have "Portal" on the first tab on the top 
of the page.
