/etc/passwd) ?
rdiff-backup --include=/etc/passwd --exclude='**' /etc/ /destination/path
That is, you do one explicit include, followed by excluding everything else.

Is this a scenario where you have a complete backup set, but once in a
while you just want to back up the one file? If so, I don't know if
there's a good way to do that. If you run the command Andreas has given
(which looks correct!), I think it would blow away all the other files
your backup set that don't match.
And using rdiff-backup for only one file seems of limited usefulness.
