Without writing a script to parse the output of fetch I dont think its
possible (fetch the index via http, parse for dirs, decend into dir,
rinse and repeat.)  Looking at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/hubs/mirror-howto.html which I
would expect to suggest FreeBSDs own tools, suggests various ports to use.
