First of all PortalDS is not only for users. Portal objects, security and etc. 
is persisted there. Then rhere are two separate issues here:
1) Users management - so you can keep users in any other place. Abstraction is 
made by implementing UserModule and RoleModule (in 2.4) plus MembershipModule 
and UserProfileModule (in 2.6)

2) Authetication. JBoss Portal just plugs into JAAS in JBoss AS so in this case 
JBossSX. Look at login-config.xml. Portal implementation of LoginModule 
interface just relies on UserModule and RoleModule, and you need to inject 
additional role for each user (by default "Authenticated") that is used for 
securing Portal Servlet (look in web.xml for portal-server.war). You can use 
any other LoginModule implementation - just remember about portal servlet 
security.
