Yes,
If TDE is patched for xz, then --lzma compression is supported in ark (see
ksnapshot at https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/7c80e743d044 -- good for 30 days)
This was a godsend for konqueror/ark. If TDE hasn't patched yet, grab the
path from opensuse - well worth it.
If you mean lzip version 1, instead of lzma, then No, even with the xz
patch, the old simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm'
(lzma) is not supported in konqueror or ark.
From tar's standpoint, that's the difference between --lzip (not supported)
and --lzma (supported)

Please test and let us know, just to be sure.

I do not have the time and energy or the infrastucture (at the moment)
to be a git tester. I did find the tdelibs and tdeutils patches.
What is the hopeful release date for 14.1.0?

I found the tdelibs/tdeutils patches Michele referenced.
Understand that I am trying to migrate away from GTK DEs because of GTK3
tomfoolery. I could have remained content with Xfce but the developers
accepted the invitation into the spider's parlor and Xfce now suffers
the same GTK3 nonsense.
For me that means I have been using software that has kept pace with
much of the free/libre world. Double-clicking on a tar.lz file in TDE
resulted in -- nothing. This is what has been frustrating for me --
things that work in the non TDE world do not work well in TDE.
I have been spending an extraordinary amount of time inventing various
work-arounds for things that should "just work." The latest FUBAR, as
reported in another thread, is audio issues on one specific system.
I am frustrated. I am sure that is reflected in the tone of my replies
and emails. I probably should just check out for a while.

Gtk+3 was a complete cluster-fsck, with each new minor point release breaking
backwards compatibility with the last. From a programmers standpoint it was a
freaking nightmare with Gtk+3 removing toolbar and menu and ruler API in favor
of a new "buildable" script type setup (which lost all control over icon
size/spacing and caused toolbars to ellipsize off the right side of the
window. (there is a reason Gimp still needs Gtk+2 -- rulers...)
Gtk4 is no longer a standalone toolkit. It requires libadwaita now coupling
the awful default gnome-shell theming to all projects that use it.
So I feel your pain. Were it not for TDE/opensuse KDE3, I'd be using fluxbox
and being quite happy with it. However, nothing replaces the elegance of the
TDE integrated suite of apps and nothing replaces konqueror and kate/kwrite -
and all the other utilities I use daily, e.g. ksnapshot, kcalculator,
kcolorchooser, kpdf, konsole (with dcop scripting to open 9 tabs and initiate
5 remote ssh sessions with the click of a single icon in quicklaunch :)

If you have 'lzip' installed, ark works like expected with *tar.lz files
(when they are genuinely lzip-compressed).
# create lzip-compressed tar archive:
$ tar --lzip -cf Arch.tar.lz *
$ file Arch.tar.lz
Arch.tar.lz: lzip compressed data, version: 1
$ ark Arch.tar.lz & # works
My system:
$ tde-config --version
