You can:

rm -f /usr/portage/distfiles/*

and

rm -rf /usr/tmp/portage/*

If I recall correclty.

Of course, before you run any rm command with -f, make damn sure you know what 
you are doing and that you typed everyting correctly and understand the 
exposure. It's like woodworking... measure twice, cut once.

This is the stuff that dead operating systems are made of when done slightly 
worng. ;-)

Often, just to make sure I'm where I want to be, i do this:

cd /usr/portage/distfiles
pwd
look at the output
rm -f *
