In the CVS version of rsync, you could specify a "pre-xfer exec" command
that could run anything you like (such as find).  However, the only way
that could affect what gets included/excluded in the already-started
transfer would be for you to use per-directory filter files.  For
example, if you have this filter rule in your config file:
    
    filter = dir-merge .auto-filter

Rsync would look for filter rules in a file named .auto-filter in every
directory of the transfer and react accordingly.  See the manpage for
more details.
