rsync --sparse seems to work fine for me:

(dan@dan.13) /usr/tmp> truncate -s 512M bigfile1
(dan@dan.13) /usr/tmp> ls -lsk bigfile*
1 -rw-r--r--  1 dan  wheel  5368709120 Feb  2 13:09 bigfile1
(dan@dan.13) /usr/tmp> rsync --sparse -v bigfile1 dan:/usr/tmp/bigfile2
sent 536936517 bytes  received 31 bytes  2958328.09 bytes/sec
total size is 536870912  speedup is 1.00
