Comment:

 I'll bet we're inadvertently using a feature that happens to be in the
 newer version of tar that's on Snow Leopard but not in the one that's on
 Leopard. On Snow Leopard I get:

 {{{
 $ tar tjvf 2Pong-1.0.1a_0.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 +CONTENTS
 -rw-r--r--  0 root   wheel    5951 Apr  4 17:48 ./+CONTENTS
 }}}

 I wonder if simply changing the command in MacPorts base to extract
 "./+CONTENTS" instead fixes the issue. Can you try if that works?
