The Huskarl is useless against it because of the high base damage, Condottiero works but is pricey, a unique unit and and has problems getting close against massed organ guns. I've found that using cheap infantry works very well... If I stick it into a siege tower. Siege towers are quite fast once you put ten infantry units inside. If the Portuguese uses other units to shield the organ guns you can send forth a siege tower with champions to engage them and in the meantime get the siege towers with the halberdiers (or the Condottieri) to the organ guns. Another approach is to use mangonels. Organ guns are slower than most units and they are very good when massed, so it should counter nicely.
