I assume you mean web portal.  There are probably several out there (in
perl, php, python, etc).  The ones I am familiar with are the python
based web application frameworks - Zope and webware.  See:

http://www.zope.org

http://webware.sourceforge.net/

They are both generic web app platforms, so you can do portals and many
other things.  The main difference is in the design; webware is a clean
modular design, but requires a little more construction on your part. 
OTOH, Zope is a monolithic app server, but there are hundreds of drop-in
"products" for zope that you can basically just plug-and-go.  One such
product is the Content Management Framework (CMF, formerly called the
Portal Toolkit).  Go here for more info:

http://cmf.zope.org/

The above site runs on CMF, and I have an example instance on my zope
server below.
