Well, not necessarily. My company's main product is a portal app. What it provides is a bringing together of very many different things under one umbrella. The ability for clients to develop their own custom modules to encapsulate whatever functionality. The ability to add in their portlets, content management system, organisation of users and permissions and departments within the company, etc etc etc. All built on webwork and a number of other os tools, which the end developers very much in mind.

Are portal servers just a marketing tool or are they actually useful?
FWIW, I have some experience with the Oracle Portal suite. It was imposed from above as the tool for the project I'm "leading" at this moment: on the first project meeting I gave the project the Death March (tm) status for this very reason.

Can anybody explain the typical featureset of a portal server?
IMO, depriving the software engineers of any professionality, creativity, and passion.

Sorry, it's been a bad month...
