Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 When you built MacPorts on your system, it detected that /usr/bin/gnutar
 existed, and will now try to use that for all ports. This failed,
 previously because the file was broken, and now because the file does not
 exist. The solution is to rebuild MacPorts so that it detects that
 /usr/bin/gnutar no longer exists; it will then use /usr/bin/tar instead.
 One way to do that is to run "sudo port -f selfupdate".
