Ok Alex and Luis,

So i put :
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="tmpfs" in /etc/make.conf
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp/portage (on HDD) in /etc/portage/env
in /etc/portage/package.env :
app-office/libreoffice notmpfs.conf
mail-client/thunderbird notmpfs.conf
www-client/firefox notmpfs.conf

Thanks to both of you :-)

Regards
