I think you can do whatever you want with the 10g portals (I haven't tried it yet). In 9iASR2 you simply made a whole lot of public synonyms to the db data source IIRC. Install AS10g and start trying it, check out the http://portalcenter.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/DOCTEAM/902DOC/904_DOC_BUILDING_PORTLETS/UNDERSTANDING_PROVIDERS.PDF
