If you are using SharePoint Services, do
you need to buy SharePoint CALS?

Right, but the extranet isn't
publicly available. It's only available to a select few clients.
We'd rather purchase individual CAL's for the few extranet users at ~$71 each
rather than $30K for an unlimited number. The licensing didn't stipulate
that the individual CAL's could not be used for external users. The External
Connector License option seemed to be geared toward a public sharepoint portal
where you don't know how many users might be connecting to it, or would have
enough connecting that would make purchasing individual CAL's unrealistic.
Regardless, I should
clarify. Suppose we have 20 employees, a license for Sharepoint and
30 CAL's. We run an extranet portal for sharepoint, which those employees
access, as well as say, 5 clients. Without buying more CAL's, can we run
an intranet portal for our employees using that Sharepoint server?

For your described
situation a CAL would not cover both portals. Then again, if you are using it
for an Extranet with CALs you are incorrectly licensed as is. An Extranet setup
would require an External Connector license, as the people connecting to it are
not employees of your company. Using SharePoint Portal Server for an Intranet
would require either user or device CALs, just like Windows Server does.

I tried this question on the Sharepoint Newsgroup with
no luck on responses. I'd like to know if MS Sharepoint CAL's will
cover multiple portals on sharepoint. We are thinking of using sharepoint
for our company intranet (we already use it for an extranet) and want to
make sure we are covered if we go that route. Does anyone know?
