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.
