As Andy has already stated, beware anyone saying they are 168 compliant already (save for actual vendors like IBM and SUN). It's just too soon for anyone to have a full implementation. The only reason why Pluto is 168 compliant and J2 (because of the Pluto dependency) is that Pluto started way before the spec was published as it was the RI for the spec.
Also watch out for eXo portal, it is GPL, which can be hairy for java developers in terms of legal issues. p.s. If you start out using Pluto's driver portal, you will be able to easily migrate all of your portlet apps to Jetspeed 2 when it is ready for prime time, if that is even a concern of yours.
