Hello Peter, well, I am no expert on Solr, but what you want to do sounds like a case for several SolrCores [1]. I am thinking of one core per portal and one super-core to search over all portals. This would be redundant and several information will be stored twice or more times. Another way would be to build one super-index. In your schema you have to define a field (let's call it "portal") to set to which portal it's "row" belongs. If you are searching for content from the news portal, you have to facet portal:news and so on.
Just some thoughts.
