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.
