There is a guide:
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/guides/guide-layouts.html

Not a very good one.

Layouts are all deployed in the jetspeed-layouts.war file as a local
portlet application (stored within the jetspeed portlet application)
Layouts are implemented as portlets
To delete any of the layouts provided with jetspeed, simply remove the
portlet entries in the portlet.xml
To take 'complete control', would suggest either
1) extend the existing layout portlets to what you need
2) if (1) isn't necessary, simply extend the vm files or write your own
vm files for layout
Layouts should control the positioning and size of your columns
Decorators are used to 'skin' the content, not layouts
[Bhardwaj, Ashutosh]
<defaults
skin="blue"
layout-decorator="tigris"
portlet-decorator="tigris"
/>
What is the purpose of a layout-decorator?
