As the number was originally ported from BT to VM, do I really have to go back to BT on a 12 month contract and a £125 install charge just to keep my phone number? Surely it can be ported again?

How long has the number been off BT? Plug a phone into the BT socket, if there is a dial tone present then reconnection is free.
I'm not sure if the offer is still on, but if you have to pay for BT to reconnect the line they were offering half price installation as long as you agreed to an 18 months contract and some terms regarding minimum chargable calls per month. Might be worth checking out. If you do go to BT you should be able to choose who to use for calls, many cheap options available from a BT line.
