If I live in Portugal, do I have to renounce or relinquish my US citizenship?

No, if you live in Portugal as a foreigner, you do not have to renounce or relinquish your US citizenship. Portuguese law allows you to accumulate Portuguese nationality with other nationalities, and it is very common for people Portuguese nationality to have two or three different nationalities. (Tom Hanks, two grandparents on his mother's side were Azorean, Portuguese and two grandparents on his father's side were also Azorean, pictured.)
