Yep, sure is.  Here's an excerpt from the (Gnu tar 1.12) man page...
--------------------------------------------------
       -y, --bzip2, --bunzip2
              filter the archive through bzip2
--------------------------------------------------

If your copy of tar doesn't support it, perhaps you could get hold of the
source and compile it with bzip2 support.
