It fails to build:

+ [ -f duckdb.tar.xz ]
+ tar --no-xattrs xJf duckdb.tar.xz
tar: Must specify one of -c, -r, -t, -u, -x
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'duckdb'

I think I missed the "-" at -"xJf". I will see if it builds and push a new diff.

Fix tar flags: add missing dash before xJf and --no-xattrs for FreeBSD tar compatibility

Refiled in Bugzilla at the current 1.5.4.3, keeping the --no-xattrs tar fix: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296809 — poudriere-tested on 15.1-RELEASE.
