I've asked this before. The simple answer is you can't , unless :

- you program the "portamento On/Off" MIDI CC on an Aux Event and 
activate it on or off for selected steps. of course your synth has to 
understand Midi CCs (I doubt a SEM will though)

- or, the other option is that your synth has a legato mode for 
portamento (i.e. notes glide when they are played tied , and they do 
not glide when played untied). most modern MIDI synths have this (my 
Ion has it) and the Kenton Pro Solo mk2 has it too. but for instance my 
M3X does not have this. So I need to use the CC trick above to program 
glides... shame. 

To continue our past discussion, this is typically an area where a 
analogue sequencer will be better than the P3. An analogue sequencer 
will just transmit variable voltage control between two steps so that 
it makes the notes glide...

if my explanation is not clear enough maybe you can dig my post about 
this in the archives.
