Giggs scored his 100th Premier League goal during the 4-1 win at Fratton Park, with Wayne Rooney grabbing a hat-trick including two penalties.
With Giggs turning 36 on Sunday, Ferguson said: "He's an exceptional player. A rarity. He will play for two years yet.
"Happy Birthday. He's had it 36 times in his life, wait until he gets to 67. I think he'll be retired by then."
Pompey's goal came from the penalty spot, with Kevin-Prince Boateng scoring, although an offence did not seem apparent when Mike Dean pointed to the spot. Replays suggested Nemanja Vidic tugged Frederic Piquionne's shirt.
"The linesman has put the referee under terrible pressure and he has to listen to the linesman who is 50 yards away," Ferguson said.
"You see these things every weekend in the penalty box. If you are saying everyone who wrestles at a corner or tugs at a jersey concedes a penalty kick then that that's fine. But it doesn't happen that way and this linesman has changed the whole course of normal decision making.
