Hey Jon,
I'm not sure whether it uses compression natively, but you could always
pipe your dump into gzip on the remote end and ungzip the resulting string
when it gets to you. I've never tried this before, so there might be some
kind of encoding problems that give you issues. In that case (and if the
data was particularly compressible) you might want to try piping the
gzipped stream into base64 for the transit, though that would take more
space than ideal (you might still get some bandwidth savings depending on
your data).
