If a portlet can call a servlet/JSP via RequestDispatcher.include(), you
should in principle be able to do this pretty easily -- except for some
potential interesting issues around doing a RequestDispatcher.forward()
inside the include (which is what Struts does to go to the response page).

You might also keep your eyes on JSR-168, which is establishing a standard
API for portlets (http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/168.jsp).  It's not available
for public review yet, but work is progressing there.
