I was trying to out think myself.

If I execute the following on  4.11-RELEASE-p17 with a portsnap current 
ports collection:

cd /usr/ports/graphics/linux_dri
make extract

I get this error:
===>  Extracting for linux_dri-6.5
=> MD5 Checksum OK for Mesa-linux-bin-6.5.tar.bz2.
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for Mesa-linux-bin-6.5.tar.bz2.

=> SHA256 Checksum OK for linux-libglide.tar.gz.
=> MD5 Checksum OK for linux-dri-tools.tar.gz.
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for linux-dri-tools.tar.gz.
/usr/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/usr/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
/usr/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
*** Error code 1

If I do it on 6.1-RELEASE-p1 also with a current port collection it works 
fine.

my tar version on 4.11 is:
# tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25

on 6.1 it is:
# tar --version
bsdtar 1.02.023, libarchive 1.02.026
Copyright (C) 2003-2005 Tim Kientzle

On 6.1, the bsdtar will figure out that a file is .gz or .bz2 and still 
extract, however, the GNU tar does not.

It seems that this port has distfile in two different formats and the the 
port structure cannot handle it.
