We did the DYS application for DS when he was 5, so there was a bit of a challenge coming up with a portfolio. Luckily, he was into math and writing stuff everywhere, so we were able to send papers covered with numbers and some notes that he had written to neighbor kids and to us. ("Dear Sierra, my mom is asleep and I am awake." written when he was 4.) Stuff like that. I tried to get some video of him talking about stuff, but gave up, because he would sense the camera and clam up on cue.
As Grinity said, send what you've got, and they can always ask for more if they want it. You'll be fine!
(Edited to add that I realized later he had to have been six when we applied to DYS, because it was his first grade teacher who told us about it.)
