Why do it if it's not fun?

The "majority vote" on this thread is correct. If you have an FAA license, you can log P1 if you fly as safety pilot.

If you have a JAR license you can't. You can put it in your logbook, the holder's operating capacity is SNY - supernumary - and the hours don't get added into any of your totals. This is described in GID 44, but since the link I have to GID 44 isn't working any more (anyone have the correct link?) I can't check it.

As for what the Portugese authorities allow you to do, unless they are JAR-compliant (which I don't think they are), I have no idea. The people to ask are the Portugese authorities! I'd be interested to know, though...

FD said: "A PPL can never log P2 (unless there is a multicrew aircraft that can be flown by PPLs, did not think there is one)." That's not true. A PPL can get a type rating on a B747 if he has enough money. I think you need an IR first. And of course you wouldn't be able to be paid for flying the 747, except for cost-sharing as allowed by your PPL. (Anyone remember the maximum number of pax you can cost-share with? It's certainly not going to fill a 747!)
