A single compile job on a big package can eat >3G of RAM.  I don't know what 
spidermonkey jobs may grow up to, but drop it down to '-j1' and see what you 
get.

A swapfile which you enable on a per ebuild basis if required, can be handy.  
You can configure this in a package.profile file. On an ext4 fs you could do 
this as root:

touch swapfile
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=4096 count=400000
mkswap -L Swappage swapfile
swapon swapfile

If it is a btrfs you'll need to tweak things to be able to used it as a swap:
