Usually. But an ebuild can specify a different distfile for x86 but use
the same name. This isn't dangerous though, since the checksum will
catch it. That means you can use the same distfiles directory for both,
and if you come across an ebuild that does weird stuff, portage will
bark and re-download the correct distfile.
