Are you talking about the program or the documeentation?

Program:
In theory yes, but as we are very short after the release, you can use
https://translationproject.org/POT-files/gnucash-3.6.pot

Documentation:
We are in preparation to convert the docs to .po, too:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Po_Based_Documentation_Translations
But it still needs some work.

How would I do it now:
See https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/commits/maint for an
overview of changes.

Then I would use 2 instances of e.g. KDiff3:
1. Compare in C the current version with that, when you last translated
a document.
2. Edit your current pt docs while comparing with the current english
version.

A few notes: No hardcoded URLs in current versions. Replace them by the
entities defined in our dtd:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-docs/blob/maint/docbook/gnc-docbookx.dtd

In case I missed something, https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation
should collect all important parts.
