I personally also wouldn't use a portal system to build a plain old interactive website (now matter how large it is). A templating solution should be able to solve all the modularization problems within a single applicaton, from a UI perspective. I think that the value of a portal is mostly as an integration technology, ie. aggregation of portlets from different applications.
