Looking at the hfstar package, I suspect this would work well.

Simply compile your amanda-client with --with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/hfstar
(or similar) and give it a go.

In fact, I'll toss this onto my testbed OSX box tonight (though I'll
simply name the hfstar as gnutar...:) and see how it works.
