You just need to customize the matching code in the rsyncstats script.
It ships with support for two log formats (both with the normal implied
"%t [%p]" prefix):

    %o %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l
    %i %h [%a] %m (%u) %f %l

Note that this currently only parses log files that rsync generated
(i.e. not output by syslog) due to the date matching:

    next unless ($day,$time,$op,$host,$module,$file,$bytes)
      = m#^ (\d+/\d\d/\d\d)\s+(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)\s+\[\d+\]\s+(send|recv|[<>]f\S+)\s+
          (\S+)\s+\[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\]\s+(\S+)\s+\(\S*\)\s+(.*)\s+(\d+) $ #x;

Here's an improved version that allows it to match syslog entries, and
makes the regex a little clearer:

   next unless ($day,$time,$op,$host,$module,$file,$bytes)
      = m{^
	  ( \w\w\w\s+\d+ | \d+/\d\d/\d\d ) \s+ # day
	  (\d\d:\d\d:\d\d) \s+                 # time
	  [^[]* \[\d+\]:? \s+                  # pid (ignored)
	  (send|recv|[<>]f\S+) \s+             # op (%o or %i)
	  (\S+) \s+                            # host
	  \[\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\] \s+           # IP (ignored)
	  (\S+) \s+                            # module
	  \(\S*\) \s+                          # user (ignored)
	  (.*) \s+                             # file name
	  (\d+)                                # file length in bytes
	  $ }x;

If you need help modifying that, let me know what "log format" you use.
