For example, if I wanted to travel from Portugal to Montenegro, how would I find out if that were even possible and if so, how much would it cost and how long would it take and how many transfers would I have to endure?

There is not one site, but several that you need to use for this.
http://www.seat61.com has good basic info on travelling internationally by train. I find the info on the countries' rail networks to be invaluable. The site as well as http://www.railfaneurope.net also links to the national rail sites, which are your second source of information.
http://www.bahn.de is the German rail site and has the best search engine. It is especially good for long-distance routes.
I also like the map at Rick Steves' site:
http://www.ricksteves.com/rail/comparetickets.htm
Note: the prices there are calculated with 1.20 USD to 1 EUR. Rick Steves also has some basic country-by-country rail info.
For some European train connections you can use http://www.jizdenka.cz to figure out ticket prices.

German Rail supplies a CD timetable for Europe. In Germany it costs 5 euros and is available in the UK by mail order but costs more.
With this all you do is put in from where to where and the date(s) and times and click search. You get your answer.

If the German rail planner does not come up with answers, (http://www.bahn.de/p/view/international/englisch/international_guests.shtml English language page,)
try the Eurail site:
http://www.raileurope.com/us/rail/fares_schedules/index.htm
I do not know if they give the right prices for single tickets, as they often forget to mention cheaper options.
This Interail page has links to all participating railway companies, go to the one where your trip starts or ends and use the 'local' train planner:

http://www.bahn.de is the most comprehensive source for train routes throughout Europe. It does not do so good with pricing beyond Germany, however. For that, you can get a rough idea with http://www.railsaver.com which will also tell you if a rail pass, point-to-point tickets, or combination will be cheapest.
