I'm afraid they will not work on 5.1
The builds represent the source code state: "Eden" (PVR) final, and I have seen commits to the development repo to support 5.1, but these were way past-Eden. When development has progressed enough however, I'm sure there will come a moment that I will create new builds. And should the 5.1 fixes be merged back to the Eden (PVR) support branch I definitely will make new builds.

The question is ask is does anyone know if i can replace just the Mediaportal addon with the ATV2 build?
Yes this should be possible. A newer build of the addon for iOS, properly zipped (meaning re-cursing into all the supporting resources directories etc.) should be able to be installed via the "Add-ons / Install add-on from Zip" system menu.
There is one catch however (isn't there always?). The new(-er) add-on is installed at a completely different location then the original version. This works, and the new version of the add-on will be found and used. I myself was bitten by the fact that after installing a new(-er) xbmc package with an even newer-new-version of the addon (
), xbmc would still load the add-on version that was installed via the Zip file and not the newest one that was present in the xbmc installation package. I had to remove that installed-from-zip version manually from the various folders the files had been put into.
I think this has to do with the fact that the PVR add-ons are true binary code (DLL's, shared objects) while all the other add-ons come as a bundle of python source/media/language files.
