Yes, you can use rsync. There is even an example of it in Postgresql 9.1's 
Streaming Replication tutorial

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Binary_Replication_Tutorial

rsync -av --exclude pg_xlog --exclude postgresql.conf data/* 
192.168.0.2:/var/lib/postgresql/data/

Subject: [Pgpool-general] Copying databses in replication mode


In replication tutorial for copying database from one host to another (on first 
stage of recovery)
"tar" and "cp" commands used. But for large databases it will be a lot of data 
to copy and 
overal process will consume from hours to days... So the question: is it 
possible to use rsync 
on pgdata folder instead of full cp? 
I suppose that in case of usual maintainance it will be not so much differneces 
between one server and another.
Best regards!
