There are some nice wide angle lenses just for DX. For the D5000 you'd want the Nikkor 10-24. Almost as wide as 14-24 on a full-frame.
For portrait though, off-camera flash is what I'd go with. They key is off-camera. Unfortunately the D5000 can't use it's flash as a commander for Nikon's Creative Lighting System, so you'll need a different way to fire the flash remotely. (I'd offer more info, but I'm not the right guy for that.)

50mm is the better portrait length... 35 is a normal lens. It's better for indoor casual photography without flash, as in it's easier get all your relatives into the frame without backing up through a wall.
