You can use any method you want, rsync is just most efficient.

No! You install pkgutil manually and then everything with pkgutil.

You can use any method you want, rsync is just most efficient. You can also
use the alternative process
  https://www.opencsw.org/manual/for-administrators/installation-en-masse.html

See also the usage examples at http://pkgutil.net which also works from a Linux box.
