No error running `fakeroot bsdtar -p -xf motif_databases.12.24.tgz` here. Maybe ppetrov^s error is only triggered when running pkgmk as real root. I wonder why he didn't set up port building as an unprivileged user.

I'm sure there might be ports where it's necessary to use the -p flag of bsdtar (preserve extended attributes when unpacking). But in most cases you don't need that flag. Why does pkgmk insist on using it for every tarball?
<SiFuh>
Hmm, you are right. OMC!

If you really did need the -p flag, you could always redefine unpack_source() for those ports in particular. Every other port can use a simpler bsdtar command.

farkuhar: when I dash P, I don't need a flag.
