If you go with Jetspeed 2, I can give you some guidance if you run into any
issues since I am actually a committer on the Jetspeed project. ;)

Unfortunately, I am not very active on the project anymore as I just don't
have the time. Lame excuse, I know. :(
I haven't really had a chance to play with Liferay, though it does look
pretty cool. The only drawback that I have with Liferay is that the portal
engine itself is based on EJBs (which may not be the case any longer).
Personally, I hate EJBs almost as much as I hate JSPs, so that kind of put
me off of evaluating it. eXo platform is also nice from what I hear, again
I don't really have any experience with eXo.
Since both eXo and Liferay are actual, financed products they have a
tendency to contain a better, out-of-the-box experience. Where as Jetspeed
2, which works fine out-of the-box, has fewer generic portlets. Jetspeed 2
is more tailored towards someone that wants to extend the portal engine
itself. It is backed by the Spring Framework and the portal/portlet request
lifecycle is based upon a configurable pipeline/valve architecture.
Now, if you like Jetspeed 2 and you want something with more polish, take a
look at http://www.jahia.org. They use Jetspeed 2 as the basis for their
portal engine. They have both Open Source and commercial versions
available.
