I understand the transistion between maven 1 and 2 is confusing. I would suggest only using maven2 and the info you find here:
http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/ It is really simple, copy settings.xml.sample to ~/.m2/settings.xml and edit the relevant values. Then simply run 'mvn' to install to your local repository and 'mvn -P tomcat' to deploy to tomcat. At first don't bother with generating a custom portal, just deploy the default and you can make changes from there. Good luck.
