Basically, I've been trying to edit which portrait files in EoSD are displayed for each line for dialogue. I'm pretty sure something in the msg*.dat files controls this, but I'm not sure what - does anyone happen to know what I'd need to change?
I've tried looking through the hex version dumped with th09_msg (http://www.mediafire.com/?mwznml2tznz), as well as the version dumped with thmsg (from the toolkit), but nothing stands out.

You'll need to use thmsg.exe to convert the scripts into something human-readable. Some of the commands in there (all represented as numbers... it shouldn't be too hard to figure out with a bit of experimenting) tell the game to change the portrait currently displayed to a specified ID.
I should note that using th09_msg for Touhou 6 is probably not going to work. :)

Ethan: th09_msg was an early tool that could turn the msg files into semi-readable txt files and revert back. It worked for a bunch of games, not just PoFV.
Turboo, if you use thmsg, you can find entries starting with 2, like "2,0,5" and "2,1,1". These control the portraits; 2 designates portrait selection, 0 or 1 designates which character to change, and the last number corresponds to the portrait number.

Ahhh, my bad. I assumed the "09" in the name was meant to refer to Touhou 09 specifically. :)

I messed around a bit with these lines, and I got everything to work; thank you!
