This question seems to be related to this question, I have provided a detailed answer to that question which might help you.

But I will mention in short to answer your question:

1. There is no change the way a plugin would be deployed on Tomcat or Jboss, they both accept WAR files.
2. So you need only create WAR files for your portlets through the plugins SDK, with are created inside the /plugins-sdk/dist folder
3. Then deploy it on a running JBOSS i.e. copy the created WAR files of the portlets to the directory /liferay_home/deploy/ and liferay will deploy it.

Edit – Another approach:
On the other-hand if you want to build and deploy directly through the plugins-sdk i.e. through ant commands then you would have to change the build.<machine-name>.properties to point to Jboss instead of the Tomcat bundle.

I would suggest the first approach, since you would already have a working WAR then why to again build it from ant and then deploy.

Hope this answers your question.
