Can I purchase a game bundle as a gift even though I have already purchased it?
I've purchased the Portal bundle (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7932/) and I'm considering buying a second copy of it as a gift, since it's on a 75% sale right now.
Will it be possible to purchase and gift the bundle to a single individual? If so, will I have to pay the amount I would pay if I bought Portal and Portal 2 separately, since I have already purchased the pack?

This appears to be incorrect. I have the Just Cause 3 XXL bundle and the "add to cart" button is grayed out and inactive. There appears to be no workaround but I could still purchase everything as an individual item and forego the bundle savings.

Answer 2
You will be able to purchase the bundle as a gift.
I tested by adding a bundle I already own to my cart. When you view the shopping cart, there will be a bright orange notice under the bundle name stating: "You already own everything in this package". The button to purchase for yourself reflects this (it's grayed out) but the button to purchase it as a gift is still available. The price is also that of the bundle and not the separate amounts added together.
