Honestly that’s probably the best place for a portable dehumidifier then. It will take out some of the humidity of your most humid area, prior to going into the intake
The best place would be injection in the plenum downstream of the coil. If using a portable unit, I'd put it as far away from the return air as possible. This way you're not adding warm dry air into the return air, and can take advantage of the evaporator coil for primary dehumidification. The portable unit should just be supplemental. The AC blower and thermodynamics will balance the humidity in the rest of the home (unless you're very leaky)

Having it there also will increase the temp, but only a few degrees, causing the unit to run longer, which will then allow the evaporator coil to remove more humidity. The added bonus of having it there is it’s his most convenient area to have it drain.
