You need to be more specific when you say 'portal'.
What type do you mean?
A portal like yahoo? (A website linking to others)
A ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) host portal? (EG the computer in your network connected to the internet and sharing it)
??
Please define and we can help you further!

You might want to look into setting up a website using a Content Management System like Joomla http://www.joomla.org/
You will need..
PHP and Mysql capable web host (check out godaddy.com)
an FTP client to upload the files
and someone or yourself who has some minor knowlegde in working with html and mysql databases. The Joomla tutorials make it pretty easy.
By the way the Joomla software is free and you can get the proper web hosting for under $5 a month.

Do you mean a website?
If so then contact a reputable local company, explain roughly what yoiu want and they should be able to explain what they need and how it will work - if they can't, find someone else.
