Change DISTDIR in /etc/make.conf to point to the new location
But this is not a good idea, as distfiles will be owned by root or portage and
it's in your home directory owned by you.
Rather leave distfiles where it is, and create a symlink in ~ that points to
distfiles. I can't imagine how your scheme would benefit you in any way.
