gtar's --remove-files option

Hi all,

Can anyone think of something equivalent to
Code: 
gtar --remove-files -czf somedir/something.tgz somedir/something.*
that uses nothing but FreeBSD's base install commands (as in, nothing from ports)?

Really?

Well, I don't even care if the archive is of a different format. I just need something that creates a compressed archive of some files, then deletes whatever it archived. Is there nothing like this on a stock install of FreeBSD?
 
[cmd=]tar cvzf somedir.tar.gz /some/dir && rm -rf /some/dir[/cmd] ;)

All part of the base system. Even &&.
