rsync - Jul 2013 - --fake-super locally?

I'm rsyncing files on system1 to its external HD.  system2 is remote
and pulls those files from the external HD.  system2 does not have
root privileges on system1 so I chown the files to pull.  Can I
somehow use --fake-super or something similar to save the original
ownership info to ACLs?

Sure, should work fine. Keep in mind that --fake-super affects both sides
of a local transfer unless you take steps to isolate the option.  From the
manpage for 3.0.x:

Since there is only one "side" in a local copy, this option affects
both
the sending and receiving of files.  You?ll need to specify a copy using
"localhost" if you need to avoid this, possibly using the
"lsh" shell
script (from the support directory) as a substitute for an actual remote
shell (see --rsh).  This option is overridden by both --super and
--no-super.
>From the manpage for 3.1.0 (note that -M (--remote-option) is also a diff
for 3.0.x):

For a local copy, this option affects both the source and the destination.
 If you wish a local copy to enable this option just for the destination
files, specify -M--fake-super.  If you wish a local copy to enable this
option just for the source files, combine --fake-super with -M--super.
