If you absolutely must use the pg_basebackup as your source and I'm
assuming you have a tarball without any of WAL files, you could expand the
tarball into you data directory, and use pg_resetxlog to "fool" the master
into starting up. I only say "fool" as it just builds you a blank WAL file
which this system can use as its integrity check and properly start.
