  The pagerank of your new domain name will start at zero, not be the pagerank of http://gadgetnational.wordpress.com/ but it only takes a few months to get back to where you were, provided you haven’t just had a major spike on http://gadgetnational.wordpress.com/

  It doesn’t matter; the pagerank accrues to the URL. If you’ve been using NewWhatever.com on your WOrdpress.com blog since the dawn of time and all the incoming links are to NewWhatever.com rather than oldwhatever.wordpress.com then yes, the pagerank should remain the same.
