top level domains

[Ethan Banks]

You would need to contact the hostmaster for the .br domain to have them
delegate responsibility for the subdomain in question to your name servers.
There is no technical reason that you can't host a domain in .br, but the
country in question may prefer that you do not do so.  I do not know if an
RFC deals with this topic or not.
