I think, there is no point in using rsync, as there is nothing to
compare against on the remote side (and I've doubts if rsync will be
happy with a "file" that isn't seekable.)
As rsync uses SSH nowadays, I'd do something like
scp LOCAL-FILE remote-host:FIFO
But, I'm not sure if scp is happy with a FIFO on the remote end.
A fallback could be
ssh remote-host 'cat >FIFO' <LOCAL-FILE
