The fact that you are building an "intranet" isn't very specific. Intranets can be very different based on the needs of the users. You might want to just install Elgg and see what it offers out of the box, try out some of the popular plugins, and go from there. Spending some time thinking about ideal design of the site without worrying about a particular technology is a good idea too.
Sim, é possível fazer e te digo que com os plugins atuais você ganha muita performance, economiza em hardware e ainda consegue um excelente resultado de desempenho. Tenho uma intranet rodando com elgg e depois de implantar resolvi vários problemas que antes eram constantes, ainda disponibilizei mais recursos para os colaboradores. Boa sorte
