I always assumed it was grid distance. If I were in the SE corner and was told the portal is "very distant" then I would make a beeline NW, ignoring a tunnel that went back to an unexplored area also in the SE corner. On the other hand if I were told the portal was "nearby" and I was all out of explorable black without going a long way around, I would consider using a few charges of digging.
If textual "you hear" messages were actual crawl noise, then assassins would be waking up their prey every time they equipped a dagger of electrocution.
