I think in the context of sound synthesis, portamento is a glissando between two notes. It would be interesting to get a vocal or violin recording of someone using portamento, and try to imitate it -- I think you'll also need an amplitude envelope. Seashore wrote about it, saying something like "it starts below the first note and overshoots its target", if I remember right. You might also need to change the timbre en route.
