Although I agree with Jamis (of course ;) It turns out you could use my latest version of local_subversion_rsync.rb to do what you want with some minor hacks... just pointing you in the right direction here.
Follow the directions in my post, point the local rsync cache to your folder with your source. Comment out the calls to subversion in my code, and it should work. http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2007/02/18/updated-capistrano-local-subversion-and-perforce Basically it will simply rsync your local copy with the server, so long as you comment out all the svn accesses.
