Almost surely, "portal_url" in not the object you expect.
I expect it to be a string in the code above.

Note that the "portal_url" object yields a string as soon
as it is called. And it is *very* easy to call an object
unintentionally both in ZPT and DTML.

The code snippet above does not call "portal_url" but something
in the context may already have when "portal_url" was bound.
