You will still need an event handler though. Basically to update target portraits. Not sure how you would work with NPCs though.

Regardings the portrait function override. I thought about it and yes I think you can make use of it. But not in the sense of changing your portraits. But you can make use of the PostUpdate function. Thus what I would suggest is this:

Lua Code:

--a fake portait for the oUF portrait module
    local fp = self:CreateTexture()
    self.Portrait = fp
    self.Portrait.PostUpdate = function(...)
      print(...)
      print("hello portrait postupdate...")
    end

Basically you can use the update trigger to change your textures manually. So you do not have to set up event handlers yourself. You only need to do the texture swap.
