Component:  base     |    Version:  2.2.0

 Mavericks ships with no /bin/gnutar, which prevents unpacking modules.  I
 worked around this by symlinking /bin/tar -> /bin/gnutar, and that worked
 OK.  Setting ports to use /bin/gnutar if present, but fall back to
 /bin/tar if not, should be a quick fix
