It looks like tar in extraction mode automatically recognizes xz compression in
the file to be extracted from.
Section from the man page for tar in FreeBSD 9.0-RC1:
-J, --xz
(c mode only) Compress the resulting archive with xz(1). In
extract or list modes, this option is ignored. Note that, unlike
other tar implementations, this implementation recognizes XZ com-
pression automatically when reading archives.
