There are sometimes hacky ways around this.

    ssh -tt localhost the_command_that_buffers here | ...

or

    script -a /dev/null the_command_that_buffers_here | ... # this one may
end up buffering via scrip(1) though; test!

(beware if you have installed a version of script(1) via macports, its
usage may differ!)
