It's pretty simple.  There is only one file that defines the mod, and then you have the .faction files for each faction.  Most portrait packs just copy/paste the same .faction contents for each contents.

For instance, grab Interesting Portrait Pack and modify the mod_info.json with your new mod's details.  Note that the gameVersion item should be updated to the current version.  As it gets out of date, the game won't be permitted to run.

Then place the portraits in "Interesting Portraits Pack\graphics\portraits".

Now look at the data\world\factions folder.  Most modders give the same portraits to all factions, but in Interesting Portraits Pack, the contents are tailored to the faction.  You can make your own .faction files, you just need to follow the format in the file.

In the end, you change the names to match your new portrait pack, and you're done.

If you need more help, the unofficial discord will have people who can advise.  Good luck!
