What specs would you recommend for an OSM tile server dedicated to serving tiles for a single, small country (e.g., Portugal only)? Total server load is estimated to be no more than two/three users accessing tiles at the same time.

As mapperz pointed out, your load is probably small enough that anything you have will do. If you have some flexibility though, try for fast disks (ideally SSD) and more memory. I suggest fast disks and memory because these are likely to be the limiting factors (for the postgres database instance).
It is interesting to look how openstreetmap does it: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers documents their servers. Given their load, it isn't really a lot of machines doing the tiles work...
