I saw that one. Maybe I need to use MacPorts' "tar"? This command works nicely on 10.11 and 10.12 using the OS provided /usr/bin/ gzip and tar ... hmmm ...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It looks like it extracts fine on 10.6 and later, and that the precompiled dylib you're installing may need a newer version than 10.6 anyway, so this may be a moot issue.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Yes, using /usr/bin/tar works on 10.6+, and since this port won't work for 10.5- this is no longer needed. It was fixed by luck and assigning this port to x86_64 only.
