Maybe it is possible.
man rsync with rsync version 2.6.9-r2 {~ Keyword} installed:
       -h, --human-readable
              Output  numbers in a more human-readable format.  This makes big 
numbers output using larger units, with a K, M, or G suffix.  If this option 
was specified once, these
              units are K (1000), M (1000*1000), and G (1000*1000*1000); if 
the option is repeated, the units are powers of 1024 instead of 1000.

So you can add PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-h" or 
PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="-h -h" in your /etc/make.conf to do that.
