Actually, I figured it out. Syntax follows:

rsync -av --rsync-path=/path/to/remote/rsync --rsh="ssh -c <cipher>"
./localfile user@remotehost:/path

The important thing here is to specify both the --rsync-path AND the
--rsh=. If you don't specify the --rsync-path, depending on how you
have your remote system configured, rsync may not find rsync on the
remote side. If you don't use --rsh=, you won't be able to specify the
"-c <cipher>" options (-e only supports one argument: the shell. No
options for that are allowed).

Anyway, live and learn.
