You have to first create the Person Account (as a User with assigned Role) and then use the generated PersonContactId field on Person Account for User.ContactId ... something like this:

    UserRole r = new UserRole(name = 'TEST ROLE');
    Database.insert(r);

    User userWithRole = new User(alias = 'hasrole', email='userwithrole@roletest.com', userroleid = r.id,
                                 emailencodingkey='UTF-8', lastname='Testing', languagelocalekey='en_US', 
                                 localesidkey='en_US', profileid = UserInfo.getProfileId(), 
                                 timezonesidkey='America/Los_Angeles', username='userwithrole@testorg.com');
    Account a;
    System.runAs(userWithRole){
        String recordTypeId = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account').getDescribe().getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Person Account').getRecordTypeId();
        a = new Account(RecordTypeId = recordTypeId, FirstName = 'TestPersonAccountFirst', LastName = 'TestPersonAccountLast', PersonEmail = 'test@user.com');
        insert a;
    }
    Account acc = [Select PersonContactId From Account Where Id = :a.Id];
    Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name = :COMMUNITY_PROFILE LIMIT 1];
    User u = new User(
        FirstName = 'TestFirstName',
        LastName = 'TestLastName',
        Email = 'test@user.com',
        Username = 'test@user.com',
        Alias = 'TestPA', 
        TimeZoneSidKey = 'GMT', 
        LocaleSidKey = 'en_US', 
        EmailEncodingKey = 'UTF-8', 
        ProfileId = p.Id, 
        LanguageLocaleKey = 'en_US',
        ContactId = acc.PersonContactId);
    insert u;

[SalesForce] How should I use Site.createPersonAccountPortalUser to create a Person Account and activate them on the portal in one step

I found some further information here: Provisioning Customer Portal Users with Apex

This post suggests that the problem is that you cannot create a contact and a user record in the same APEX transaction. Doing so is called mixed DML and is not allowed. Therefore if you must create a contact and user at the same time the only way to do so is for one of them to be created asynchronously via a method marked with the @future annotation.

This is the method I have used.


    //Async method, using @future, to create the User record and associate it to the previously created Contact
    //This uses @future because you can not have mixed DML operations for standard objects (Account, Contact) and Setup objects(User)
    @future public static void createUser(String contactId, String email, String firstName, String lastName, String userName, String profileId) {
        Database.DMLOptions dmo = new Database.DMLOptions();
        dmo.EmailHeader.triggerUserEmail = true;
        //take the first few characters of the username for the alias
        String alias = userName.substring(0, 7);
        User u = new User(alias = alias, email=email, 
            emailencodingkey=EmailEncoding, lastname=lastname, languagelocalekey=LanguageLocaleKey, 
            localesidkey=LocaleSidKey, profileid = profileId, contactId=contactId,
            timezonesidkey=TimeZoneSidKey, username=username);

        u.setOptions(dmo);
        insert u;
    }

This appears to be working better than my previous attempt. The error messages now show up in the Apex Jobs page (Administration Setup > Monitoring > Apex Jobs) which makes it easier to debug than the silence that the first attempt gave.
