Usually, you can find relative paths and control where it picks up and drops with cd on each end!

If your net is so fast and your cpu is so slow, compress is faster than gzip -1.

I feel like I am overhearing half of a phone conversation. Can you summarize all your needs in one list?

Your parameters don't look quite right.

Code:
tar cvf - usr/local/ | gzip -c - | gunzip -c - | tar -C opt/ -xvf -

By doing 'opt/' instead of '/opt/' you can test in an opt dir inside your current dir instead of stomping over /opt/ itself.
The '-c -' on gzip/gunzip actually do nothing, and the point of bothering to compress is to put rsh or ssh in the chain before gunzip and so keep the network from being such a bottleneck. If that was no concern, rcp -rp would move it all.
