I wonder if portal here really does mean CMSed page.  My understanding
of a portal is that it a central point for reaching resources all over
the web, generally with the intent of collecting people to feed
with advertisements.

The difficulty I always have with the CMS concept is that it is really
an admission that HTML has failed to achieve one of its primary goals:
to be an authoring language that ordinary users can use directly.  In
my understanding of the original web concept, a CMSed page would reduce
to a list of links to the actual detail pages written by the information
providers.
