rsync -e "ssh -p N" where N is the port number should do the trick.

You have to have rsync at both ends. If you want to set up rsync as a server,
that's bypassing ssh. The authentication is encrypted but the data stream isn't
(though it consists of checksums and differences, so it would be hard for Eve
to make sense of it).
