We will be releasing this capability on June 28th. You will need to first enable Accounts in the portal and then enable the ability to create partner opportunities.
Check the Channel Success/PRM blog on June 28th for details on how to enable Accounts and how to allow partners to create opportunities.

Hi William. In order for Partners to directly enter Opportunities will they need picklist access to Accounts on their portal screens ? This is significant as many organisations will not want partners to see accounts that their competitor partners transact business with as this would encourage account "poaching". How do you see account visibility working ?

I am just implementing the parter portal for one pilot partner. Regarding the lead conversion process that is described in the implementation guide (Winter 06' Ed), is that the way I should implement lead conversion for partners or does this new feature change the way partners convert leads to opportunities?
