On Tiger (10.4) tar is gnutar is GNU tar 1.14 (and supports --no-same- 
owner)

On previous versions of Mac OS X (I'm not sure if it was 10.3 and  
before or 10.2 and before) tar was bsd tar and there was also gnutar  
present.

--no-same-owner isn't available everywhere (and macports base  
actually checks to see if it's available when building from source).

If a port really needs it when it is available, the portfile could  
probably look at tar_command from port_autoconf.tcl
