You are right.

Caching would be possible, too.
I think, "dtml-var", "dtml-if" and "dtml-in" are caching.

I fear, there is no way to access the uncached value through
direct use of "_". "_.getitem(name)" would be the way
to access "name" without rendering in the first place.
But once, it is cached, you will get the cached value.

You can try "_.getattr(this(),portal_url)".
This way, you use explicite acquisition from the "current object"
("this()") to access "portal_url".
