My only guess would be that the file is corrupt. Did you download it via FTP? If so, maybe you downloaded it in ascii mode instead of binary mode? Also, a port doesn't work with a packaged archive - the port uses compressed source files. And again, you don't need to extract the archive for the ports. The ports system will do all the necessary extracting. Further, with the ports, you don't necessarily have to fetch the source files yourself unless there is a problem, as the port will try to fetch the appropriate sources for you if it doesn't find them in /usr/ports/distfiles. If you want to install a port (assuming you have the ports collection installed), then just goto /usr/ports// and type 'make install [clean]'.
