With 'PREFER_PKGSRC=Yes' in mk.conf this is the result:
# ldd /usr/pkg/bin/bsdtar 
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff7b17e000)
        liblzma.so.5 => /usr/pkg/lib/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007fb2ebba5000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fb2eb988000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb2eb5ff000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007fb2eb3f7000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb2ebdca000)

The important thing to note is that zlib and bzip2 have been built into
the binary but lzma hasn't.

I don't want to cripple it, that's why my first suggestion was to treat 
lzma like zlib and bzip2 so that it gets built into the binarys.
