It seems a bit ironic to add LZMA support but not offer tar-1.20.tar.lzma on the ftp site :)
Just in case you are thinking about releasing a LZMA compressed tar package, perhaps you would like to know there exists a much simplified LZMA compressor/decompressor program and format (only eight source files including two from the command line argument parser) featuring magic bytes, streaming, integrity checking, 64-bit file size support and an user interface almost identical to the one of bzip2.
Its name is lzip, and you can download it from here http://freshmeat.net/projects/lzip/
