In the end it must have come through. I've configured MacPorts to run & install as a normal user (meaning I did the selfupdate without sudo, clearly that wasn't the best idea), and I also had to move a couple of older gnutar variants out of the path. Things are building now, I suppose using the system tar command. We'll see how far the process goes! Thanks for the suggestions in any case!
