I think you would have to recompile amanda.  I would install
xfsdump/xfsrestore and "rpm -e dump" and then run ./configure script,
then it should find xfsdump and choose that as the OS dump program. 
Then you would assign a non-GNUTAR dumptype to the disk(s) and it should
run xfsdump for the backups.

Hopefully, the configure script does not check to see if the OS is IRIX
or not Linux and decide that xfsdump can't be installed on the
system--Then you would have to hack the configure script a little bit to
get it to work properly.
