rsync must call rsync on the target machine, otherwise to whom would
it be talking?
Presumably you have two versions of rsync on the target machine, one
of which does not support those extra features. Use --rsync-path to
explicitly set the rsync to use on the target.
Hope this helps

looking in my list archive I cannot find support for extended
attributes on OpenSolaris.
You could probably use OSX own mapping by mounting the Solaris target
filesystem on the Mac with NFS and then use as a target 127.0.0.1:/
Volumes/<mountedsolarisvolume> to force delta transfers (but remember
--rsync-path unless you replaced the distributed rsync with the new
one).
