Probably not.

Mostly likely yes, but building it with the Mingw compiler is NOT porting it
to MSYS, rather it would be porting it native Win32. I don't know anything
about rsync but a quick Google search shows that there are already ports to
Windows so I suggest you try get one of those before trying to port it
yourself.
