Yes, it works, but its far from ideal.
Ideally, you'd push the update automagically right after its made, and only if the device is connected.
Perhaps using a SVN server on desktop (or Internet) to host the file, and then using SVN client on N900 to grab it, is a better idea. Revisioning is bonus.
I also assume Maemo Browser must be restarted to reload the patterns.ini
To work around that, some kind of notification the file got updated (both SVN and Rsync know) may be useful.
Anyway, it is only 1 config file, so it is still manageable for a Mortal

Looking into writing a control panel app to allow users to select which subscriptions they want to use as well as update frequency/connection, maybe more. Ideas?

After installing it, you may have to reboot once or twice before it stops working.
The package has been sent to the autobuilder and built ok. You should be able to find it within extras-devel sometime in the next few hours.
A huge thanks to qole for figuring out that this was even remotely possible.
Can you reboot with init 6 or shutdown -r now?

shutdown -r now - accepted by the program but does nothing.
init 6 - works, does the exact same thing as reboot.

For now, on N900 set up OpenSSH server. On client install a SSH client.
In crontab add
rsync ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/patterns.ini user@n900_hostname_or_ip:~/.mozilla/microb/adblockplus
Space is delimiter. First argument is source. Second argument is destination.
On Windows use Windows-type paths for local path, get ofcourse rsync.exe for Windows, and use Windows Scheduler.
This setup is not passwordless while crond cannot get your password input. You can use SSH keys to set up passwordless, key-based SSH authentication SSH entry on Maemo wiki may help but keep in mind its written from perspective of N900 being client.
In that regard, you could set the above up from N900 too. Then you must install OpenSSH server on your desktop.
There may be GUIs for rsync.
You could also make a .bat or .sh instead of using Cron or Windows Scheduler.
