Well, I do Polish, not Portuguese, but here's what I found.
- You need to use the right font, under the console (man setfont) and
under X if you're using X (man xrdb).
- You need to use the right keymap to type the funny letters
(man loadkeys under console, man xmodmap under X)
- Every program you use ("less" and "more" are separate programs) has
to be taught how to speak your language. Usually this means setting
some flag that makes it "8-bit clean", i.e. tells it not to ignore the
8th bit in each funny letter)
- For Portuguese you can probably use the default X fonts, that is,
ones ending in "8859-1". You just have to set up a keymap that can
type the funny letters.
