Are you sure you ran a selfupdate, as rsync-3.0.3 is in MacPorts:

$ port info rsync
rsync @3.0.3 (net)
Variants:    universal

Rsync version 3.0.3 has been released. This is a security release that fixes a
potential buffer-overflow issue. Related pages:

Library Dependencies: popt, libiconv
Platforms: darwin, freebsd, sunos
