or to just recompile the GNU version of tar on the new machine :)
I have an AIX machine at home and a Solaris machine here at work that have
had just about all of the BSD-style commands replaced with the GNU
equivilents. Makes everything (read as: "me") much happier.

One should note, however, that the compression options with tar only exist
under the GNU tar implementation and not the BSD tar version (last I
knew). It's nice to use them if they exist, but if you're ever doing
scripts which have to be portable, it's best to split the steps up :)
