I can't advise on what's the "right" way to do this, but two suggestions:

Try it and see if non-linear portamento sounds any different (or any better) 
than linear.

Consider a physical model.  I'd have thought that the movements a musician 
makes as s/he slides from one note to another would probably be /fairly/ 
linear, and that the resulting frequencies would be non-linear only because the 
relation between "position" (whatever that means in context) and frequency 
would be non-linear.  Of course my assumptions may be wrong (I'm no musician), 
but my point is to consider /some/ physical model as guide to what's "right".
