What makes you think it is not supported?
R CMD INSTALL happily installs .tar.xz files, and the name is not used
to detect compression so .tar.gz

Sounds good. Are there any plans to support the xz compression for
package source tarballs?

A quick notice for anyone who uses cron-like scripts to get
R source tarballs from the ETH R/daily/ s:
I've finally switched to replace *.bz2 by *.xz which does save
quite a bit of bandwidth.
Currently, you can see the 2 day old *.bz2 (and their sizes) and
compare with the new *.xz one
