Please see the following error log:

    http://www.netbsd.org/~jlam/mousetar.log

This is a virgin NetBSD-3.1 installation with a current pkgsrc checkout 
with your patch applied.  I have:

    LOCALBASE=          /usr/pkg
    PKG_DBDIR=          ${LOCALBASE}/.pkgdb
    PKG_SYSCONFBASE=    /etc/pkg
    VARBASE=            /var/pkg
    WRKOBJDIR=          /tmp/pkgsrc

I did:

    # cd pkgsrc/archivers/mousetar
    # make install

        Cheers,
