    Luis,

    we have an online interface to the Reuters corpus (indexed by
    CorpusWorkbench). It's available from:
    http://corpus.leeds.ac.uk/

    Because of the agreement with Reuters the access is mostly limited to
    inhouse research. However, we can provide a password for
    research-related concordancing.

    As for Portuguese, if you have a reasonable list of words frequent in
    Portuguese newswires and a tagger/lemmatiser, a corpus like this can be
    collected from the web. See the Wacky initiative:
    http://wacky.sslmit.unibo.it/

    Best wishes,
    Serge
