I pulled the current distfile for the vtun port,
and it's definitely a GNU format archive, so I
wasn't able to easily reproduce your problem.

I'm suspicious that all of the time being used is
system time.  Could you try to find out which
system calls are taking so long:

   ktrace tar xf /var/tmp/vtun-2.6.tar
   kdump -R -m 16

That might shed some light on matters.
