Comment (by kencu):

 I don't know the elegant fix for this yet, but the brute-force fix is to
 do this:

 Install gnutar {{{sudo port install gnutar}}}

 Edit {{{/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/port1.0/port_autoconf.tcl}}}

 and change the variable {{{tar_command}}} from {{{/usr/bin/gnutar --no-
 same-owner}}} to {{{gnutar --no-same-owner}}}

 and you're in business (so long as you don't uninstall gnutar):
 {{{
 $ port -v installed py38-flit_core
 The following ports are currently installed:
   py38-flit_core @3.0.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='noarch'
 date='2020-12-15T17:47:10-0800'
 }}}
