Is the word comportamentos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The meaning, spelling, and grammatical function of "comportamentos" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels tend to be more "closed" or even reduced (almost disappearing), whereas in Brazilian Portuguese, vowels are generally more "open" and clearly articulated.

Brazilian Portuguese Examples
