Check out PHP-based eZ publish for portal functionality, and what you 
call multi-site are "siteaccesses" in eZ publish lingua:

A single eZ publish installation is capable of hosting multiple sites by 
making use of something called the siteaccess system. This system makes 
it possible to use different configuration settings based on a set of 
rules. The rules control which group of settings that should be used in 
a particular case. A collection of configuration settings is called a 
siteaccess. Among other things, a siteaccess dictates which database, 
design and var directory that should be used (these are sometime 
referred to as "resources").

By making use of different siteaccesses, it is possible to combine 
different content and designs. A typical eZ publish site consists of two 
siteaccesses: a public interface for visitors and a restricted interface 
for administrators. Both siteaccesses use the same content (same 
database and same var directory) but they use different designs. While 
the administration siteaccess would most likely use the built in 
administration design, the public siteaccess would use a custom design.
