Resource forks on OS X have been supported for a while now -- they
are handled via the --xattrs option by rsync (and handled more
efficiently than the rsync that comes with OS X, since 3.x does
not re-send unchanged xattr data).

If you'd like to use the OS X-specific -E option instead of using -A
and -X, you can create a popt alias by adding this to your ~/.popt
file:

rsync alias -E -AX
