First, you do NOT want a macro lens for portraits - unless your goal is to show any facial blemishes as clearly as possible. Do you really think your subject will be relaxed with you and your camera inches away? The absolute minimum focal length for portraits is 80mm (a 50mm lens if your crop factor is 1.6) so you can keep out of the subject's "personal space" and still get a good head shot. Back in the 35mm film days a portrait lens was any lens between 85mm to 105mm.
Note that "good" and "cheap" are almost always mutually exclusive terms.
