I'd go with a 'pch' utility eclass, and have packages that IUSE pch add
a call in pkg_setup (which would either die, or disable distcc).

On a related note, we had a discussion on bug #128810 a while back about
whether the package manager should be doing distcc and ccache at all,
anyway.  Personally I think the package manager shouldn't be involved in
that at all.
