you can delete /usr/portage/distfiles/* if you want to; i think the
worst thing to come of it would be having to redownload the sources
for each subsequent emerge of the same software.  

Alternately, you could use an NFS share to make /usr/portage/distfiles
shared with all the computers on your network.  If you have more than
one gentoo box, that is ; )
