That's the best solution.

FYI, I had similar problems when I did the lzip MacPorts port under
Mac OS X. So, I suggested Antonio (the author of lzip) to separate
these utilities from his software and write a zutils package, that
would could support various compression formats. Other compression
software (such as gzip) should also drop them, in favor of zutils.

Here's the Zutils page from Antonio:

Zutils 0.1 is currently a preliminary version and doesn't support xz
yet, but Antonio will work on it shortly.
