Comment (by kencu):
It looks like the `rsync` used by MacPorts is specified in two places:
{{{
/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/macports1.0/macports_autoconf.tcl
}}}
and
{{{
/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/port1.0/port_autoconf.tcl
}}}
You could try, for a test, installing a current `rsync` using MacPorts,
and then edit those two lines to use it instead of the `/usr/bin/rsync`
that is specified in those lines.
Those edits would last until the next MacPorts update, I think.
Of course, if you uninstalled or deactivated `rsync`, you'd have to change
those lines back to the system `rsync` or things would not work properly.
