I installed a test ezpublish in a directory called "portal" which lies in document-root ( html_public/portal/ )
My intention is that users will reach ezpublish by typing only www.MyDomain.com or even (I found documentation for multiple site) http://sub.MyDomain.com www.MyDomain2.com
How can I achieve this? Redirection? Or must index.htm lie directly in the www-root (no subdir "/portal" also)?
Normally I must type www.MyDomain.com/portal/ to reach the installed ezpublish.Please someone help me with an simple example.

This is very simple, use something like this in your apache config:
<VirtualHost www.MyDomain.com> <Directory /var/www/html/ezpublish/> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI AllowOverride None </Directory>
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule !\\.(gif|css|jpg|png|js)$ /var/www/html/ezpublish/index.php
ServerAdmin root@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ezpublish/ ServerName www.MyDomain.com</VirtualHost>

Thanks!
But is this possible if I use a Web Hotel? I don't think I have access to apache config files. Maybe using .htaccess in stead?

It's not index.htm which matters, it is index.php. eZp3 looks at the URL and uses everything before the "index.php" as the current directory. If index.php is visible you should be OK.
(I was having trouble with a similar config, but with index.php hidden. There are problems with that -- I posted a suggestion with a possible fix. Have index.php visible.)
