Hi,
I just tried to install databases/postgresql73-lib. It failed with
/usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Unaligned block (6459 bytes) in archive
/usr/pkg/bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Replacing GTAR with TAR in the Makefile let the package install.
Why is GTAR used here? If it's a cross-platform thing, can't we use our
PAX that's provided via bootstrap?

Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
