I did this for a project.  It had a "target" portlet and a "source" portlet.
I used JavaScript to pick up a row from the source and drop it on the
target.  The javascript was part of the target portlet.  I used xml files to
configure both the source and target portlets as to what the "key" was in
the source, what to 'drag', and what 'key' the target would except and what
the action was when the source was dropped on the target.

Is is very possible and pretty easy.  I can't share the code because it was
developed for the gov't on a project that doesn't allow it.  Look up "Drag
and Drop" on google. Find an example of javascript that drags a table entry
around on the screen.  A little work and viola!
