Madeira (Funchal) is not separately verified — default to 100ml. 0 of 5 airports in Portugal have a recorded source check or editor approval; 0 more have source guidance without a recorded check.

Lisbon and Faro apply 100ml per container in one transparent bag of up to 1 litre, presented separately. Porto recommends the same, although some of its checkpoints allow up to 2 litres. Madeira (Funchal) is not separately verified — treat it as 100ml.
Do Portuguese airports allow liquids over 100ml?
Only at some Porto checkpoints, which allow up to 2 litres without a bag. Porto says you can't predict which checkpoint you'll use and recommends 100ml containers in a 1-litre bag. Lisbon and Faro keep the 100ml rule.

Lisbon (LIS): yes. Porto (OPO): some checkpoints allow up to 2 litres, but the airport recommends following the 100ml rule.
Do Portuguese airports have CT scanners for liquids?
Porto says some checkpoints use new X-ray equipment allowing up to 2 litres without a resealable bag. Lisbon and Faro say the usual 100ml rules remain in force.

A single transparent bag of up to 1 litre per passenger, with all your liquid containers inside, presented separately at screening.
