I have in the past done a recursive _listing_ of a mirror site, chosen files out of that, and constructed an include/exclude file on that basis. This was automated with a script. In my case the example was a GNU archive with multiple versions of packages; I wished only to mirror the "latest" package. If you can construct (via, perhaps, "rsync -n" and some postprocessing) a list of the remote files that you want, or do not want, it is a pretty easy task to convert that into an include/exclude list automatically. Then you just use that in a wrapper script for calling rsync.
