dump L0af - / | ssh ip_addr '(cd /mnt; restore -rf -)'

You could either do bdslabel -B or use sysinstall to do the same. Only you
mount the slice to /, set bootable and softupdates, then chane the mount
point to /mnt before you "W" to commit.

For a directory tree, try my dose of medicine. I think it can work. It wont
set your system on fire if it doesn't:)

I don't get your requirement.
You'd like to copy empty directories from where to where? Is it a directory
tree or just leaves (TM, patented by me)?
(Leaves are at the same level,, below the branches, while trees contain
branches.

Wildly imagining..from a tree... or branches..

for d in `find /source/path/ -type d`; do mkdir -p /some/path/$d; done

(Untested).
