As far as DocBook sources, you put a lang="pt_br" attribute in the
top-level element.  As far as Makefiles, there are a couple of
possibilities, depending on what becomes of 1).

The current license?

Btw., are you sure what you are getting into?  A complete translation of
the PG documentation is going to take an insane amount of time.  You might
also be interested in doing some translation work on program messages.
