It's part of gentoolkit. eclean-dist is the command you are looking for. eclean-dist -h for more info. If you want to move the distfiles directory, you can change the path in make.conf and tell it where the new location is. You will have to copy the files from the old location to the new location tho. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
