Yes, it is. Let's see what happens:

- Generate a tar with symbolic links older and younger than the target.

# mkdir test && cd test && touch 1 && ln -s 1 2 && ln -s 3 4 && touch 3 && cd ..
# tar -cf test.tar test

- Write an ebuild script:

src_install() {
cd ${D} && tar -xpf ${FILESDIR}/test.tar && touch uiuiui 
}

- see that no uiuiui is generated.
