From lzma(1):

    LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm) is an improved version of
    famous LZ77 compression algorithm. It was improved in way of
    maximum increasing of compression ratio, keeping high
    decompression speed and low memory requirements for decompressing.

This seems to work such that foo.tar.lzma can be opened happily by
Emacs.  I suggest adding it to the default list in jka-compr.el.

    (progn
      (add-to-list 'jka-compr-compression-info-list
        ["\\.lzma\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'" nil "lzma"  nil nil "unlzma" nil nil t ""])
      (jka-compr-set 'jka-compr-compression-info-list jka-compr-compression-info-list))

PS: I'm not sure whether to use nil or "" for this case: there is no
reliable magic for lzma files.  From my /usr/share/file/magic:
