There is lftp, which I also really like as a normal ftp client. It has a
mirror command that can download a whole directory try. It also can upload a
tree using some switch (mirror -r or something (r for reverse). It's got a
bunch of other nifty features as well. You can get it from 
ftp://ftp.yars.free.net/pub/software/unix/net/ftp/client/lftp/
You could also hack up functionality like this for the NetBSD ftp client. ;)
