I would suggest ajax4jsf. As far as i know, it provide custom button link that submit in ajax, retrieve the response and redraw parts of the form on client side. This seems to do what you want, except for one thing. According to docs, the current release does not support portlets environments. However, docs also state that it's 'to come very soon', maybe this has changed since the doc i read was written, maybe snapshot can do what you want. Maybe you can delay your work? :) (i don't really expect you say yes to last one :p)
