Yes it help, got 50 M clean with eclean.

I looked in make.conf but did not see any 'DISTFILES_PATH'. What should 
I add?
my make.conf:

# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that 
automatically built$
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=k8"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ 
ftp://mirror.ovh.net/ge$
USE="-X mmx multilib netboot sse sse2 -gtk -sdl apache2 mysql pam ssl 
sasl xml $
FEATURES="-sandbox collision-protect ccache parallel-fetch"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

source /home/portage/local/layman/make.conf
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/home/portage

Thanks ;)
