There is not.  You can however run the base backup on the server side
and use ssh/rsync/etc to copy w/limits to the slave.

With a big database and a spotty connection I find that the best option
anyway.  I'm assured the base backup succeeds and I can just keep
re-running rsync till I get it downloaded.
