It's not missing from the site. FreeBSD never used GNU tar. FreeBSD used a very small number of GNU utilities. tar, coreutils like ls, cat, etc. where never used. It was mostly things around the GNU toolchain, which ARE mentioned in the GPLinBASE wiki on the freebsd site.

FreeBSD's tar(1) man page says it used GNU tar from FreeBSD 1.0 until 5.4 when they replaced it with their own version.
