AFAIK, TTW doable legacy portlets support only page templates found 
through acquisition and portal_skins/custom is better than site root.

Fragments are implemented as views.

I did an experimental branch, where you can define restricted python 
view methods for fragment views:

https://github.com/collective/collective.themefragments/commit/75c194b26a5dd9a3827c2d43876042fb3cd860c2

So, if you have fragment

   fragments/navbar.pt

you can have method

   fragments/navbar.get_elements.py

And call it in navbar.pt like

   <tal:block repeat="element view/get_elements">
   ...
   </tal:block>

In the current implementation those methods don't take any parameters,
but do have 'self', which is a browser view with 'context', and 'request'.
