We have bundled bzip2 in the base system for almost two decades, and there is no port depending on it. The port system expects /usr/bin/bzip2 and expects base system tar to recognize it, and bzip2 1.0.7 introduced a quite visible regression, the fact that we have it for 2 years suggests that there is no real users of it at all... Cheers,
