Which version of tar are you using? Mine is:

bsdtar 3.1.2 - libarchive 3.1.2

Why not just use 10.0 if it is a replacement? IIRC, there haven't been great
incompatible library changes for several major releases (correct me if I'm
wrong). E.g, currently I'm using the official TUG TeXLive binaries which we=
re
compiled for 7.2. They still work fine on 10.0.
If you have old binaries that rely on old version of the system libraries y=
ou
can always install one of the misc/compat ports.
