If it consists of MyISAM tables you can do a pre rsync with everything up and running. Then you would lock all tables and do the real sync[1] while the lock is in operation. You can then do the switchover or start the replication or whatever you want to do and unlock all tables. I do not know any way, how to evade the locking, besides recording all changes while the transfer is in progress and adding these to the new database later. [1] If you rsync over ssh, you should use ssh options "-C -cblowfish".
