Basically, you override the doDispatch method, and forward to your
custom mode. Thing is, the portal server has to support your custom
mode, or you're out of luck. WebSphere only supports the config mode.
No print or about mode yet with WebSphere Portal out of the box. What
kind of mode were you looking for?

Here's a free, multimedia tutorial I put together on creating custom
portlet modes in WebSphere:
