Best way to package GNU Tar-1.29 for macOS?

[cjames]

Has anyone attempted to create a .dmg or .pkg for GNU Tar-1.29? /Know the best way to go about it?

I'm installing from terminal but running into a /usr/share/man/man1/tar.1 permission denied error during './configure && make && make install' before I even get to capture package source files via Composer.

You'll run into issues self compiling because of SIP.
I would do a composer snapshot while installing via Macports. You'll also have to take care to add /opt/local to your users' $PATH.
