Comment (by raimue at macports.org):

 First of all, there are other places where this variable is used in
 `portclean.tcl` which would also need the new location for proper
 cleaning.

 We could change the default of dist_subdir to fix it in all locations
 without much rewriting. I didn't test it, but I mean something like this:
 {{{
 default dist_subdir {[lindex categories 0]/${portname}}
 }}}

 This would still allow to override the default dist_subdir with the fetch
 directory of another port by using `dist_subdir category/portname`. The
 downside is that we would need to change it in all existing Portfiles
 using dist_subdir (I counted 190 ports).
