Ok, so it looks like I can create a portal by calling the "portal::create" proc. This module has unmentioned dependencies on dotLRN so I get a lot of errors when I try to poke around in it.

What I'm trying to do is create "My Yahoo" for our Intranet site. To achieve this it looks like I could create a "my-intranet" package with a dependency on new-portal. The my-intranet package would handle automatically creating a portal for a user when they hit the page and maintain the relationships between portals and users. I would also then copy the tools used to manage the portlets from the dotlrn package.

Does this sound right?
