Only by SQL commands, unless Stuart adds it as an option
to big jumbo-jet-dashboard.

When I'm looking for such things, I find it easier just to open JMdict
or EDICT2 in an editor.

For EDICT2, searching for "por:" will find all the "lsrc=por:" entries:
コンヘソル /(n) confessor (por:)/EntL2624990/
サバト /(n) Saturday (por: sabado)/EntL1057040X/
サラダ /(n) salad (por:)/(P)/EntL1057850X/
....

For JMdict look for "<lsource xml:lang="por">
