Seriously, that's the same size as the PPC slice of the tar binary that shipped with Panther in 2003.

Okay, but I'm running Snow Leopard. I appreciate your time here. Suggestion as to fixing this? I'm a total newb - I'm trying to update some firmware and am following 3rd party instructions...
Again, my OS is 10.6.8 and I'm running XCode 3.2.6 (I know XCode 4 is available, but I'm not a paying Developer Member).

Well, I'd bet that you've got plenty of insanity on your system if your tar binary is from Panther. Did you upgrade directly from Panther to Snow Leopard or something? Anyway, really the only advice I can give is to reinstall the OS. May be a good time to move on to Lion and Xcode 4.2 (which I'm pretty sure is free).
Anyway, not a MacPorts issue, closing.

I went Panther - Leopard - Snow Leopard. But thanks for the heads up and the fast responses!
Best,
Bob

Xcode 4 is free on Lion but requires a paid membership to the developer program if you want it for Snow Leopard.
That's odd, the default /usr/bin/tar should support that; what is the result of running
