What version of OS X is this? It looks like your /usr/bin/tar isn't GNU tar, but mine is, and I don't remember doing anything special - unless installing XCode would have replaced it? I'm not sure what the best thing to do here is. Perhaps validate should pass configure a --validating flag, and configure should fail if tar isn't GNU tar and that flag has been passed?
