No it doesn't support RTSP.

VLC does support it and can act as an RTSP server through its VLM (videolan 
manager interface). However the RTSP serving support is still very much a 
proof of concept so don't expect too much of it.

To have VLC act as an RTSP server (serving MPEG TS files), run the following 
command in VLM:
"new mymedia vod input yourinputfile mux mp2t enabled"
and "vlc rtsp://server:port/mymedia" on the client.

RTSP serving support in VLC would surely deserve some more work... to make 
it more compliant for instance.
