You may want to try exporting RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG to use httptunnel as
the transport mechanism. You can add the export string to
/etc/sbopkg.conf. Httptunnel supports proxying, so this should work,
but I haven't a way to test it.

* man rsync (for an example of setting RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG)

Report back if you make it work.
