rsync was originally built to run over RSH, so you could use that  
instead. :) And I noted this in the documentation, but rsync can work  
with two local directories (or any two directories that *appear* to  
be local), so you could always mount a remote filesystem via AFP or  
NFS and sync them that way.

Is there an easy way to recursively transfer things via FTP? And does  
it transfer the whole directory every time? That would probably be  
pretty slow.

The Finder lets you "mount" things via FTP. If it looks enough like a  
real filesystem (and that's a big "if"), then you could probably use  
rsync between a local directory and a directory mounted via FTP.
