The quick start guide walks you through how to manually install a new portlet from an existing war file. (Chapter 5 in the 2.6Beta1).

Your other option is to specify where it will get deployed in the *-object.xml file using the <parent-ref> attribute, then simply placing the .war in the deploy directory. This is referenced on page 40 in the 'Reference Guide'. If you use this method, your portlet will magically appear on the specified page without having to use the web interface to do it.

If you are starting a portal from scratch, the steps are outlined in the 'Reference Guide' in chapter 5. I ended up redoing most of the build scripts to suit my needs from the tutorials. Don't place the portal-*.jars into the lib directory otherwise the app will not deploy into the server. If you do, you'll get a 'WARN [PortletAppDeployment] Failed to create instance yourportlet of portlet ...' message. Took me a while to figure out what the issue was there.
