The transport is defined at run-time via the --rsh=COMMAND parameter.

Actually, the use of rsync client is very similar to rcp. You can to use it to 
synchonize files between any machines where you have a shell account. To can 
connect to an rsycnd server is an aditional feature useful when you don't 
have a shell account on the remote machine.

Then, IMHO, for the server part SSH is a reccomended dependencie to can create 
a more secure setup. 

But for the client, a note like "You may need SSH to can connect to remote 
host or rsyncd servers" is enougth.
