IMHO, this should be packaged, and in a way to Obsoletes/Provides: libtar as it's backwards-compatible and actually actively maintained unlike libtar. The Obsoletes/Provides should of course be versioned, so if a new libtar springs up at a later point (i.e. if the maintainer really goes back to actively developing it), it can be introduced instead of or in addition to the fork.
