I take it then that the portraits will be changed around for version 0.8? Also, where can I find this PAK Extractor?
Well, the current issues with portraits are mostly due to the culture-swapping done by the EB team. In the vanilla 1.2 game, all factions are given a pre-defined and hardcoded culture that cannot be changed. So to fit in all the factions they wanted, the EB team had to swap some of the factions around; Romans use the "seleucid" faction slot (hence the Greek portraits), the Seleucids, Armenians and Bactrians use the various "roman" slots and so on.

However, with the 1.5+ patches for RTW and BI, cultures are now able to be modded. This means that 0.8 will be able to give each faction their appropriate portraits and culture penalties and the like will be working properly. So you can expect that most (if not all) of the portraits *should* be back to normal. And if not, it can be easily modded
