OK, I finally was able to ask to the person who had worked on this kind of thing before and he gave me some guidelines in order to get my development done.
What I ended by doing is the following:
First, I did this in the doView method of the portlet (in this example, /Feedback/src/com/ibm/feedback/FeedbackPortlet.java):
public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException {
response.setContentType(request.getResponseContentType());
String targetJsp = "/_Feedback/jsp/html/FeedbackPortletView.jsp";
String nextTask = request.getParameter("nextTask");
if ("verFormulario".equalsIgnoreCase(nextTask)) {
targetJsp = "/_Feedback/multibox/files/feedbackform.jsp";
}
PortletRequestDispatcher rd = getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher(targetJsp);
rd.include(request, response);
}
Then, in the JSP for the Portlet view (in this example /Feedback/WebContent/_Feedback/jsp/html/FeedbackPortletView.jsp), goes the following:
<%@page session="false" contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" import="java.util.*,javax.portlet.*,com.ibm.feedback.*"%>
<%@page import="com.ibm.wps.l2.urlspihelper.portletrequest.PortletURLHelper"%>
<%@page import="javax.portlet.PortletURL"%>
<%@page import="javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.LoopTagStatus"%>
<%@page import="java.util.HashMap"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/portal/v6.1/portlet-client-model" prefix="portlet-client-model"%>
<portlet:defineObjects/>
<portlet-client-model:init>
<portlet-client-model:require module="ibm.portal.xml.*"/>
<portlet-client-model:require module="ibm.portal.portlet.*"/>
</portlet-client-model:init>
<head>
<%
PortletURL url = renderResponse.createRenderURL();
url.setParameter("keepSession", "true");
url.setParameter("saveMap", "true");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
HashMap params = new HashMap();
params.put("nextTask", new String[] { "verFormulario" });

Notes:
- /Feedback/WebContent/_Feedback/multibox/files/feedbackform.jsp is just the JSP based on multibox bundled HTML page (blank.htm file), that is going to be shown inside the multibox dialog.
- This uses the library attached in the article Portal 6.1 and 7.0 Advanced URL Generation Helper classes (thanks to @udo-held for the link).
- Contents of multibox zip file were extracted to /Feedback/WebContent/_Feedback, keeping file structure.
