First off, it's an awesome game with an awesome story in its own right. The original Portal is clearly more "experimental" than Portal 2, and it creates a cool, minimalistic atmosphere. GLaDOS is also a little bit different (with good reason). Her humor is much more dry, and hilarious in a slightly different way than she is in Portal 2. There are more secrets in Portal 1 than Portal 2.
Even the puzzles styles are a little bit different, with energy balls instead of lasers and a lot more usable portal surfaces.
Second of all, while it's possible to understand what's happening in Portal 2 without the original, the original definitely adds more context. It's easier for you to understand why GLaDOS hates you so much, and why and how you killed her.
And finally, Portal 1 has "Still Alive". It's worth playing just to experience "Still Alive" in context.
In short: It's on sale for five dollars, just buy it and play it!
