No, that's not currently possible -- the -x option only affects the
reading of the files on the source machine. However, you can include
all the source filesystems as args in a single copy command and it will
enforce the single-filesystem (inode-based) restriction separately for
each arg you specify:
rsync -avxR -e ssh --numeric-ids --delete \
--exclude-from=/backups/control/all.exclude \
root at B:'/ /usr /usr/local /usr/local/apache' /backups/B
As long as that doesn't exhaust your machine's memory, it should work
fine.
