A boat from the north of Wilderland travelling down Anduin would pass Lorien, not cross its border. So if either Mirkwood men or Beornings wanted to sail down to Osgiliath I don't see what was stopping them. Otherwise, why was the portage way that Aragorn found built ? And I'm not sure that any men lived just south of Lorien near Anduin, apart from maybe some people of Rohan living in the eastern Wold.
