Does anyone know where I can find design information for Light-Gauge Steel Portal Frames? Members, Connections (plate connections)
 
Be more specific. I have never heard of using light gauge steel members to make a portal frame. Are you thinking about the portal frames that are used in pre-engineered metal building construction?

I have seen on some websites either single or double 'C' Shape Member back-to-back. The beams and columns were attached by steel plates and bolts to create the building shape similar to PEMB Frames. They were used on garage, sheds, and barn size structures.
