I know of three "Portfolio" PAKs:

BASE-PROG-DEV-PORTFOLIO
EXT-PROG-DEV-PORTFOLIO
PROG-DEV-RT-PORTFOLIO

These all seem to be for programing/development.

No SIPs (VAXcluster, DECwindows, DECNET, etc.) are included.

The RT PAK provides runtime licenses for various products.  For example, 
ACMS, NOTES, RALLY, RDB, etc.

EXT is a superset of BASE.  These provide access to various development 
products such as compilers, VAXELN, SCAN, etc.
