If you read merlyn's use.perl.org journal entry, you can read how a huge pile of Perl/Open Source developers there is in Brazil. Just see how many Perlmonks monks are regularily active here, I know of only a handful, gmpassos being among the most remarkable ones. So, what's holding them back? I'm sure the language barrier is a large stumbling block.
So if there's any subgroup that deserves their own Perlmonks, it's them. Now, it's a matter of deciding whether they need their own site, their own sections on this site, or, like jZed proposes, intermingling with the rest of the site, optionally with language tags (!= HTML tags, but rather some form of flag), indicating what language a post is in.
I think it's time to come out of our ivory tower.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
