I haven't tested it, but the following should work:

(add-to-list
 'tramp-methods
 '("rshrsync"
   (tramp-connection-function tramp-open-connection-rsh)
   (tramp-rsh-program "rsh")
   (tramp-rcp-program "rsync")
   (tramp-remote-sh "/bin/sh")
   (tramp-rsh-args nil)
   (tramp-rcp-args nil)
   (tramp-rcp-keep-date-arg "-t")
   (tramp-su-program nil)
   (tramp-su-args nil)
   (tramp-encoding-command nil)
   (tramp-decoding-command nil)
   (tramp-encoding-function nil)
   (tramp-decoding-function nil)
   (tramp-telnet-program nil)))

What happens when you try?
