Accordingly, can someone in the know please tell me which ports fink's use of rsync requires,
873/tcp. See man rsync.
and if there's a configurable option to use rsync over SSH, how to do that and what ports *that* requires?
No. rsync supports this, but it is impractical in this case, as you'd need an account on each fink mirror. Besides, encrypting the traffic doesn't seem very useful to me, as the package tree is public anyway.
