Well, you can always bash it ...

  for i in .; do [ -d "$i" ] && rar (options) $i.rar $i; done

That will test each entry in the current directory if it is a subdirectory, and
if so, create a .rar of each subdirectory.

Note, for this to work, noglob must be off (default).
If noglob is on (use "set -o" to verify), then replace:  
  for i in .; do
With:
  for i in `ls .`; do
