I thought I replied on google groups somewhere, but I can't find it now. 
At any rate...

Yes, JRuby will "work". Whether it (or Rails in any form) will scale to 
2 million concurrent users is a huge question mark. You're talking about 
whole server farms to handle that, and JRuby isn't likely to be your 
biggest problem. Perhaps you mean 2 million registered users and some 
much smaller percentage of concurrent users?

It should deploy just fine on any webapp server. There are some folks 
using WebSphere.

I don't know portlets well enough to know for sure, but with it handling 
requests like any typical Java webapp, it should be fine, yes?
