Same here.

Had some trouble to dump/restore the system from a life 2nd system.

Finally found a solution:
Created a named pipe on the system with the cloning device and used
restore's integrated rsh capability:

[System A (with the FS to dump)]:
mkfifo /tmp/ufs.dump
dump 0f /tmp/ufs.dump /

[System B (fresh system)]:
cd /mnt
rrestore rvf 1.2.3.4:/tmp/ufs.dump

But sure, rsh would have been quite handy...
