Falling back to pt_BR has three big disadvantages:
1) the standard Portuguese is from Portugal
2) 
[rms@roque abi]$ ./dumpstrings.pl pt-BT > ../.strings.html
Missing strings:
pt-PT: DLG_PageSetup_ErrBigMargins
pt-PT: DLG_Lists_Hebrew_List
en-US: 
pt-PT: 2

[rms@roque abi]$ ./dumpstrings.pl pt-BR > ../.strings.html
Missing strings:
(...)
en-US: 
pt-BR: 713

3) in light of my efforts (check 2 -- oooh... 2 new strings) I'd
consider an insult to see the fall back be pt-BR :)

We'd have to have an intelligent way of knowing which is the standard
for the language, in order to do it properly.
