Is this just the regular tar vs gnu tar problem with OS X?

Here is a quote from the tomcat download page
(http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.9-beta/):

<quote>
NOTE: The tar files in this distribution use GNU tar extensions, and must be
untarred with a GNU compatible version of tar. The version of tar on Solaris
and Mac OS X will not work with these files.

I am guessing that the same applies to the maven download.

I wonder if a .zip distribution would work?
