All you have to do is link your Playstation 3 account to your Steam account you have created on your PC/Laptop.
There really isn't very many details on this, but, if you buy the Playstation 3 version of Portal 2 on the PS3, you'll be able to get free codes to redeem the game, in which you can put on your Mac AND/OR PC, yes, you can have Portal 2 on your PS3, PC, & Mac, all for buying the game once.
Here's a screenshot of what the Steam chat will look like on your PS3, it's very interesting, really.

Also, here's a questionable screenshot of what the Steam add-on will look like on your Playstation 3, which is not a confirmed screenshot, so your opinions will be appreciated.

& last but not least, the message that Valve announced for the release of Steam for the Playstation 3, it might be a 'tl;dr' quote, but if you're a Steam user, I'm sure you'll be happy to read it!

April 13, 2011 – Valve, creator of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today disclosed details regarding the Steam experience designed for the PlayStation®3, which is set to debut next week with the release of Portal 2.
The first title to support Steam on a console, Portal 2 offers cross-platform matchmaking, gameplay, friends, chat, and achievements, all powered by Steam. Steam on the PS3 also saves co-op game progress and single player saved games to the Steam Cloud, enabling players to pick up where they left off on any PlayStation®3.
The Steam overlay for PS3 provides access to both PSN and Steam friends, displaying their in-game or online status and providing a quick pathway to text chats, player profiles, friend requests, and game invites. Steam Achievements are earned in lockstep with PSN Trophies and are also accessible within the Steam overlay.
Steam on the PS3 provides access to all of these features once the player has linked their PlayStation® Network account with a Steam account, which is done right within the game. A Steam user can login to an existing account, and anyone new to Steam can create an account with the click of a button.
In the spirit of Steam Play, linked players of the PS3 version of Portal 2 can also access and play their copy of Portal 2 on any PC or Mac by redeeming an in-box access code on their computer. The Steam client verifies the linked customer and then lists Portal 2 among their library of Steam games for PC and Mac.

if it registers on the server level then yes... but this is portal 2- I could be wrong but I don't think there are any weapons.. and I think all they have is co-op and not vs. multiplayer.
