    Only if the portable DVD player has video in. Connectivity depends on what sockets are on the portable DVD player but if you go to any TV/Audio specialists with the DVD player and tell them what you're wanting to do and you'll be connecting to the freeview box with SCART, they'll sort out a set of leads.

    A Freeview box will have video and sound output (A/V) via the scart plug.

    If the dvd player has audio/visual input sockets ( usually composite video) then it should work.

    You will need a scart adapter lead. (to whatever the type of A/V sockets are on the dvd).
    And a mains supply for the Freeview box
