Yes, it's a good way to build a basic image.
Use the --one-file-system flag or "-l" with GNU tar to avoid descending other filesystems such as /proc, /sys, /dev/usb, etc., etc. Also it's safest to do on a static filesystem: Building a Xen image copy, then mounting *THAT* to build the tarball is safest.
