I'm not a native speaker of either, but I have a little bit of background, in part from a trip to Brazil... The two languages have the same kinds of divergences that for example, "Spanish Spanish" and "Mexican Spanish" do. My understanding is that speakers of one Portuguese can definitely understand and communicate with speakers of the other, but they are definitely different enough to warrant a separate category.
