Look here:
http://cygwin.com/packages/

Looking for bin/tar, I get 
	tar/tar-1.13.25-1	A GNU file archiving program
	tar/tar-1.13.25-3	A GNU file archiving program
so, you need to install the "tar" package for tar ;)

You might also want to look here:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC14

and the paragraph on http://cygwin.com that starts with 
"Note also that, by default, setup.exe does not install everything"
