https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DISTDIR

The default value of DISTDIR variable is in /usr/portage/distfiles. No DISTDIR definition is in make.conf:

# emerge --info
...
DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles"
...

For new installations, it is /var/cache/distfiles.  For existing installs, the old setting was preserved by the portage ebuild, written into /usr/share/portage/config/make.globals so as to not break anyone's old setup.

If you set the new value and rebuild portage, it'll update make.globals.
