My $0.02: we should probably just remove this port.

We have bundled bzip2 in the base system for almost two decades, and
there is no port depending on it.  The port system expects
/usr/bin/bzip2 and expects base system tar to recognize it, and bzip2
1.0.7 introduced a quite visible regression, the fact that we have it
for 2 years suggests that there is no real users of it at all...

Cheers,
