Any easy way to identify when a distribution group last had mail sent to it?

I don't know of any way with the default settings. There might be something
available if logging was turned up. You'll need to specify your version of
Exchange and AD to get a better answer from someone else.

The groups expansion is logged in the Message Tracking log. There are
3rd-party tools that collect these log files, analyze them, and store
the relevant bits and pieces in a database. That database can produce
the date of the last use (expansion).

You could do something similar by collecting the log files, extracting
the expansion events and the group name and the date and then update
either a database or a property of the group to hold the most recent
date.
