Not that I'm aware of...

If I were you I'd try to contact the Plone pt_br user list 
(http://plone.org/support/region/pt-br) or the localizers directly and 
ask them if they've already started a translation.

If not, you're more than welcome to start it!

I don't know very much about the Copyright of the contents under 
plone.org, but I'm aware of an ongoing Spanish translation and some 
other translated howtos also published at plone.org, like
http://plone.org/countries/conosur/documentacion/instalando-plone-3-con-el-instalador-unificado
so you shouldn't be afraid of any problem with the copyright.

However, the Foundation people should be able to tell you more about the 
copyright stuff.


Thank you very much for your contribution in advance!
