I apologize for the extreme tardiness of this
reply.

I'm not aware of any such trail either.  You'd
probably have to plot your own route using a
combination of public transportation, streets,
various back roads and a bit of cross-country. 
Once you reach Troutdale, you could probably head
up and east, which would eventually put you on
the PCT SOBO.  If you're NOBO, then I'd second
the hike along I-84, which is unfortunately both
noisy and highly dangerous (although if you're
stopped by State Police for law violation [it is,
I believe, illegal for pedestrians to walk along
Interstates in Oregon], you might be able to get
a ride).
