It seems that both the A330 and the B767 are in the race.
I think they could possibly copy the Australian way to get some used A332 converted into A330 MRTT.
But there are also possibilities to do that with the B767.
Here is the link to www.cavok.com.br via google translate:
FAB receives green light for aircraft acquisition in the KC-X3 Project
caiafamaster.com.br: Via google translate: A330MRTT: Defense authorizes Air Force to purchase two strategic transport aircraft and in-flight refueling
However, aware of the pressing need for these planes in its flight line, the FAB sought other ways to make this important purchase feasible, especially since the British offer of two Airbus A330 MRTT (KC-2 Voyager) was too attractive in terms of costs.
could be a good idea and give them time (say 2 years) to get 2 ex civil A330s converted to MRTTs as long as
FAB don't need the boom as the RAF ones dont have them.
