Still waiting for some input. Did my question void forum rule in any manner?

It did go against the advice of the posting guide:

Questions about statistics: The R mailing lists are primarily intended for questions and discussion about the R software. However, questions about statistical methodology are sometimes posted. If the question is well-asked and of interest to someone on the list, it may elicit an informative up-to-date answer. See also the Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and probability).

and note that Wikipedia or a Google search would have answered your question. That you needed to ask the sesond question suggests you are unfamiliar with the posting guide (see the footer of this and every R-help message).

See also ?Box.test for one example of such a test (as given by e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau_test).

Sorry to be off-topic. Can somebody please explain me what is Portmanteau
test? Why it's name is like that? When I would say, a particular test is
portmanteau test? I did some googling but got no satisfactory answer at
all. Please anybody help for understanding that?

Regards,
