No you don't it's free, you just have to pay for the games, but currently Portal is free.
Steam requires you to download a client. You then log in with a account you have made, go to the page Portal, and click install. Wait for it to download, finish and then play!

store.steampowered.com is the single biggest threat to my finances on the Internet. "But...it's on SALE!" has been the death of many a virtual ten-dollar bill in my life. And because it stores my credit card info, all I have to do is click "add to cart" then "checkout" and Steam does the rest.
If you've got massive impulse-control problems, Portal is going to be a Trojan horse (the actual wooden horse, not the term for a computer virus) in your bank account.

It's a free client that lets you buy games online for very cheap prices. Also, it keeps track of your games that you bought through your account so you can download said games on any computer you have the internet on.
Also has insanely cheap prices and has deals throughout the week. This weekend you can buy 5 games for 20 bucks, saving 60 bucks if you bought them some other time. Not to mention portal
Overall it's a great service in my opinion and comes highly recommended.
