You do not need to develop a portlet in order to 
do that. A simple JSP template can do the trick. 
For example in the CorpV2 set of templates, you 
should have a "box" which list "saved search 
results" and which is already doing more or less what you want.

This is another issue but you can take a look at 
solutions such as: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mo197/portlets/portlet_messaging/
