Perhaps a very old version?

"tar -a -cf archive.zip source.c source.h"
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdtar&sektion=1

Also listed as supported here:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki/LibarchiveFormats

Works fine on FreeBSD 11.2 (version string below)

bsdtar 3.3.2 - libarchive 3.3.2 zlib/1.2.11 liblzma/5.2.3 bz2lib/1.0.6
