by lzma archive, you probably mean a lzma-compressed tar archive.
You can extract them with
lzma -dc compressedarchive.tar.lzma | tar -xv -f -
or, if your version of tar supports it,
tar --lzma -xv -f compressedarchive.tar.lzma
The command lzma comes from app-arch/lzma-utils, and these days the
distros ship it by default.

This command line can be simplified:
unlzma -c compressedarchive.tar.lzma | tar xv
Most better desktop archive managers (for example file-roller for GNOME)
can handle these archives nowadays.

why not directly
tar --lzma -xvf compressedarchive.tar.lzma
then? (I hope I got the syntax right)

I like to do things right (I love Math, exactness and rigor). From
tar's info page
If you don't specify this argument [the argument to -f] , then
`tar' will examine the
environment variable `TAPE'. If it is set, its value will be used as
the archive name. Otherwise, `tar' will use the default archive,
determined at the compile time. [...] If there is no tape drive
attached, or the default is not meaningful, then `tar' will print an
error message. The error message might look
roughly like one of the following:
tar: can't open /dev/rmt8 : No such device or address
tar: can't open /dev/rsmt0 : I/O error
To avoid confusion, we recommend that you always specify an archive file
name by using `--file=ARCHIVE-NAME' (`-f ARCHIVE-NAME') when writing
your `tar' commands.
Regarding old-style tar options (that is, tar options without a dash):
old style syntax makes it difficult to match
option letters with their corresponding arguments, and is often
confusing
[...]
This old way of writing `tar' options can surprise even experienced
users. For example, the two commands:
tar cfz archive.tar.gz file
tar -cfz archive.tar.gz file
are quite different.
So I use either tar --lzma -xv -f compressedarchive.tar.lzma or, when
using an old tar,
lzma -dc compressedarchive.tar.lzma | tar -xv -f -

The "correct" official tar syntax does not use '-'. If you like to be 100%
that a tar command should work, ddon't use '-' in front of options.
BTW: "star" autodetects 7z compression and calls the program "p7zip" to unpack
the archive transparently.

Yes, sure. That's why
% tar --lzma tvf /gentoo/distfiles/texlive-module-context-
vim.doc-2008.tar.lzma
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
just works. Or does it need to be -tvf? The "correct" syntax is the one used
by the version of tar one is using. For the most of us, this is GNU tar.

GNU tar is not 100% with parsing command lines in a standard compliant way,
but omitting the '-' is correct.
It you add "--lzma" you use a 100% on-portable command line.

SUSv2, the precursor of SUSv3 (also known as POSIX.1-2001).
SUSv2 is the latest standard that includes tar.

There are many pax implementations and the pax implementation that is usually
seen on Linux is based on GNU cpio. This program has more problems than GNU
tar...

Weird. The implementation that I've ever seen on Linux platforms is the BSD one.

There are two different "BSD" pax implementations.
As there is a new "archive library" on FreeBSD that tries to allow different
CLI implementation bases on the same basic code (similar to what star does),
there may even a third pax implementation on *BSD.
