This works pretty well. As a matter of fact, I have my entire /usr/portage exported via NFS.
Is this a better method than setting up a local rsync server?
It really depends. I only have this setup on my home LAN, and ONLY because I am the only person to use these computers. If you're going to have a lot of potentially untrustworthy people using it, then its probably not the best idea. As for just sharing /usr/portage/distfiles, If you can set it up so that people can read and write, but not delete, that'd probably be the best way to do it. That way, you'd always have to someone download the file first, but after that, its there for anyone else to use.
