Is it possible to send a turtle through a nether portal to build a shelter around the portal on the other side? I read they are treated as players.

I don't believe so, unfortunately. But if you have a chunkloader in the nether, you can have another turtle break the turtle, put it in an ender chest, and then extract it from the nether.

IIRC loose item stacks go through portals now too, so could you just have a turtle break the turtle, drop it, it passes through the portal, a turtle on the far side sucks it up and deploys it?

I don't belive turtles can access vanilla Ender Chests.

Indeed; Vanilla ender chests cannot be accessed. If you play on FTB or Tekkit however, there is a block that replaces the ender chest which they can access. My mistake.

These ideas require setting something up on the other side first. Plus, when you pick up a turtle, it's program is lost and you need to put it down next to a drive and load from a disk again.

I want the turtle to be the first thing through, going through and building a shelter around the portal on the other side.

If you give the turtle a label with "label set your_label_here", it will not lose programs or fuel.

And unfortunately you will need some mechanism on the other side to set up the turtle, so it will be unable to build a shelter on the other side without you going over there and setting something up.
