You cannot write 'k in Z[i]', because Z[i] is not a set.

Assuming that Z models an indicator function (does it?) of a subset of
some predefined set, which (subset) needs to be found, and Z[i] is a
binary variable, the cardinality of that subset can be expressed as 
'sum{i in ...} Z[i]', so you could write your constraint as follows:

s.t. Proporcion{k in 1..card(CATEGORIAS)}: 
       sum{i in ITEMS: k in ...} noitems * Porcentaje[k] * Z[i];
