That would probably be undesirable because it would mean having to
special case things in the ports tree and/or duplicate code.
I'm confused. How is it different from having
a build-time dependency on GNU tar? I thought
I remembered a few cases where ports installed
GNU tar (as a build dependency) and then extracted
with GNU tar.
This case would seem no different. But I'm far
less familiar with the details than you are, so
I'll happily bow to your expertise in the matter.

These ports currently obtain the unzip port dependency by setting
USE_ZIP, and then everything just works, i.e. there is logic in
bsd.port.mk to handle things like distfile extraction.
If we have to special case ports to deal with variant zipfiles that
cannot be processed by /usr/bin/unzip then it gets messier because we
have to account for some ports being satisfied with USE_ZIP=yes meaning
/usr/bin/unzip and some still requiring /usr/ports/archivers/unzip. I'd
prefer not to have to add those workarounds.
