No, I'm fairly certain we have no decentralized way to distribute 
packages (yet). There have been some discussions, of course.

BTW, currently the official binary cache is served by Amazon, which IMHO 
should be usually significantly faster than any available distributed 
solution. Of course, distributed models have other advantages, but 
someone would have to put nontrivial effort to make it work with nix...
