Pulling threads from multiple forums?  I've thought about it before, but it gets tricky, for example, potentially different permission sets on forums etc.  It gets really difficult to handle all that.
Search system may work better, but it's not quite as versatile as the forumdisplay page.

@your other idea - just portal categorisation?
Is it similar to the page here? http://sc2.zingaburga.com/ where you can click on the category and will only show posts of that forum?

Let say that I have this thread structure:
Parent Thread
-- Child Thread 1
-- Child Thread 2

In the forum contained with the thread, I have a textbox custom thread fields.
When this custom thread fields will be applied? When creating the parent thread, or when creating the Child Threads, Yumi?

Child threads will be identical to normal threads, that is, have their own thread fields.  The only difference is that instead of being displayed on forumdisplay, they're displayed in showthread.
Eg:
- Forum
--- Thread
----- Child thread 1
------- Sub-child thread 1
------- Sub-child thread 2
--------- Sub-sub-child thread 1
----- Child thread 2

I've thought a bit about it though, and I think it may be too difficult to get it to work completely right... :/
Unfortunately would require a lot of code duplication from forumdisplay to display threads on showthread.
