I'm not sure what Oracle Portal is (and I don't want to know), but this
is why the null display X server was invented (Xvfb). After all there
are many database servers running headless ... after many years of
effort, *all* the database servers where I work are now headless (it
took some doing to persuade the Oracle dba's they didn't need heads on
the servers).
