Actually, we have :-)

This was changed in XFree86.  The correct way to enter ç with a
us-intl keyboard is <MultiKey> <comma> c.  I played with some
alternatives, and found that it wasn't worth adding other sequences
such as ''c or ',c, like I did back for Psyche: compose works just
fine, and it's not like you're saving a keystroke or anything.

The change in XFree86 is justified because us-intl has no obligation
to be Portuguese-centric.  Being language-neutral, and there existing
languages that do use ć, it's silly to favor ç.

Have a look at /usr/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose as well.
That's where most of the action is these days.

Please understand that Brazilians are not the only ones who use
keyboards that are not entirely appropriate to their native
languages.  XFree86 tries to cope with them all.
