Probably OK.

Just to be on the safe side I'd try to distribute this
weight so that some of it is between the axles.  For
example couple of bags on the rear seat, rear floor.
Maybe put the spare tire in the cabin etc.

You should be fine.

I need to transport 560 lbs. of cement in my 2000 Outback. Is it OK to
load up the back with that much and keep it loaded for 24 hours until
I get to the destination?  

I'm guessing it's OK becaus it's like having 3 good-sized adults in
the car, but I just want to be sure.
