Per default if you want to create a subsite under a publishing portal you get only one template:

- Publsihing Site with Workflow

All others has been disabled for this type of template.

Here is a short overview which Template has which child Templates, i will expand this view later:

ChildTemplates	Collaboration Portal	Publishing Portal
ChildTemplates	Collaboration Portal	Publishing Portal
Team Site	x
Blank Site	x
Document Workspace	x
Wiki Site	x
Blog	x
Basic Meeting Workspace	x
Blank Meeting Workspace	x
Decision Meeting Workspace	x
Multipage Meeting Workspace	x
Document Center	x
Records Center	x
Site Directory	x
Report Center	x
Search Center with Tabs	x
My Site Host
Search Center	x
Personalization Site	x
Publishing Site	x
Publishing Site with Workflow	x	x
News Site	x

If you want to change the template selection, you can do this very easy. Go to your publishing portal Select Actions -> SiteSettings -> Modify all Site Settings

Under look and Feel there is a option called ‚Page layouts and Site Templates‘. Now you can choose which template will be available for creating a subsite!
