Is there a way to rsync files to a remote location that doesn't have rsync installed?

From what I read, rsync has to be installed in both places, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a hack or workaround?

I've bumped into this situation some months ago.
There was a range of HP-UX servers where we I was forbidden to install software.
So I deployed the rsync binaries in an unpriviledged user $HOME/rsync.

From then on, you just have to specify the following flag when calling rsync to tell it where the custom remote binary is, 

--rsync-path=
