Hardly - 9iAS R2 comes with it's own 9.0.1 database - the installer starts complaining when you have 512MB or less memory, and you haven't even started installing 9i RDBMS...

If you are only interested in Portal, opt for R1. Not straightforward (you will need to run some patches, of which one or two are awkward, to say the least). You want to end up with 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2a, Portal 3.0.9.

Anything else: buy an extra machine, with 1GB memory, and install 9iAS R2 management structure there, alongside with 9iAS Portal Webserver. Install Portal procedures in the backend.
