www.bahn.de is also a very good website for european rail, much better than rail europe.

The Spanish equivilant of National Rail is http://www.renfe.es/index.html although only in spanish, not too difficult to work out what to do!

do you really want to travel via train?

from madrid to port, i assume a flight would be much easier!

Have you seen the prices of the flights to Porto?

Hiring a car to get from Madrid to Porto maybe cheaper, especially if there is more than one of you going

When I was in Spain flying from Madrid to Barcelona was much much cheaper than the train. I'd look at flights first.

Also you could look on gumtree, there are often people driving trips like that looking for people to share the driving and cost of petrol.
