Oooh, nice catch! I was looking at this and didn't see that.... anyway,
the environment variable you're talking about is in /etc/make.conf, and
looks like this:
PORTDIR=/usr/portage
DISTDIR=${PORTDIR}/distfiles
So the resulting DISTDIR variable expands to /usr/portage/distfiles
(since ${PORTDIR}=/usr/portage).
That's where I'd check to see if something went wrong (perhaps
/etc/make.conf was improperly edited?).
