First, actually, untarring as root sets the ownership of a lot of the stuff in my solaris bindist to 506:100 (brian:users, it says in the listing.)
Default behaviour when using tar as root; it'll preserve the UID and GID of the person that created the tar.
Just FYI, this works "right" (IMO) under FreeBSD: files untarred as root are owned by root unless you use the p flag. Of course, this note only applies if you are just handling this item via doc changes; if you have install do the chown, it's moot. --RDM
