You need to use a callback function, which is an optional argument for load()
$( "#portfolio" ).load("partial.html #portfolio > *", function (response) {
// executed after query is complete
});
After you add a new Orbit slider to the page, you will have to initialize it:
$(document).foundation('orbit').init();
... so, you'd do that in your callback function.
