When I am there tho I really need data, and voice if it were worth it.

Yes this is the wrong place but I'll respond anyway.
I'd suggest you do absolutely nothing except take your BB to Portugal and enjoy.
Although voice roaming charges are sky high as we all know, BB data is highly compressed and in my experience, per Kb charges for messaging are surprisingly modest.
If you plan to browse, I'd recommend you use Opera Mini which strips out data your browser can't render properly at the server end and sends only what's useful. This can save up to 75% of data volume and is faster, too.
