I assumed you're building a site and just need this to work on it... which the bit I made up will do it. If you're building a skin for sale or something, and it needs to work on any random site then yes it's going to need more. The portal-assigned profile page will be in there... Timo will probably know where it is.

Or save yourself the trouble and just use the built in profile module as is. You don't have to use any social networking stuff... just delete that off the page. In the profile module settings is a template where you can make it display the profile nicely and it'll put the edit button underneath..  it looks as good as you make it look and it's not hard for people to figure out where to click to edit.

AFAIK the profile is a part of the module, I don't think you can get a direct link from the API.
The module you see is the View Profile Module, it is tempalte based and has this in the template:[HYPERLINK:EDITPROFILE] / [HYPERLINK:MYACCOUNT]to render the link to the link to edit profile / my account.

Code of this module can be found in:
DesktopModules/Admin/ViewProfile/ViewProfile.ascx.cs

This code that gets the Edit profile URL (around line 116):
Globals.NavigateURL(ModuleContext.PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, "Profile", "userId=" + ProfileUserId, "pageno=3")

Globals.NavigateURL(ModuleContext.PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, "Profile", "userId=" + ProfileUserId, "pageno=1"); 

But it uses the module context, so I'm not sure it's of any use, but maybe it gets you on the right path..
