I had a similar problem and found there is a gotcha with Jetspeed. I was doing:
1) Edit .xreg file 2) Stop Tomcat 3) Start Tomcat 4) Check for the portlet I added. Unfortunately, at step 2, Jetspeed "saves" its current settings back out to the .xreg files, thus deleting my earlier entries. I had much better luck with: 1) Stop Tomcat 2) Edit the .xreg file 3) Start Tomcat 4) Enjoy new portlet :) Hope this helps.
