Yes P/Invokes do complicate portability, but are not the same thing.

P/Invokes can be portable, provided you have native versions of the needed
libraries publishing the same API, and they also work with non-x86
processors.

X86 ties is the real problem of mixed-mode assemblies, they have embedded
x86 native code in Windows-specific library-loading-format.
