By using canonical Apertium (e.g. no extra programs) what I would do is as you suggested and make .t1x rules to cover the most frequent patterns, doubling up rules in the .t2x if necessary. There is another option of using two stages of interchunk, the first would chunk "nel trasporto su strada, per ferrovia e sulle vie navigabili" together and then the second would do the concordance. By using VISLCG3 you could write a CG rule which would disambiguate the "che" depending on the following verb (e.g. by mapping a subject or object tag), then have two entries in the bilingual dictionary: che<rel><subj> -> qui che<rel><obj> -> que or something like that.
