I'm not entirely clear on your situation, but I *think* that you should
be able to add a link, named 'gtar' (not GNUTAR), from any directory in
$PATH to the GNU tar binary, e.g.,
 # ln -s /usr/bin/gtar /usr/local/bin/tar
(assuming that the sunfreeware package installed the binary at
/usr/local/bin/tar).
