If he is a full Portuguese citizen that should be possible, as then he has a right to enter the UK.
Getting a Portuguese passport from the Portuguese embassy/consulate in the UK is only possible once he is considered a UK resident

Technically, if your father's intention is to reside in the UK then he is a UK resident from the minute he touches down on UK soil. However, for practical purposes, he may wait up to 3 months to garner sufficient documentary proof of this before approaching his embassy.

By sufficient proof I mean:

Employment letter
Proof of sufficient funds (if claiming self sufficiency) - bank statements, financial investments
Mortgage letter, tenancy agreement
Utility bills
Registration Certificate (obtained by applying to the UKBA in person or by post) etc
