 Not really, but what I do (generally just from command line, but this could 
be written to a file and made a "script") is the following:
============ CUT HERE ============================
for fn in `find . -print`
do
  if [ -d $fn ]
  then
    chmod 775 $fn
  else
    chmod 664 $fn
  fi
done
============ CUT HERE ============================

  The "-print" is not "required" but I like to be explicit.  What this will 
do is change all directories _from_where_you_are down to 775 and all files 
from there down to 664.  Add a #!/bin/sh _before_ the for line, write to a 
script name (chmod-tree ??) and you have a script to do the chmod for you...
