Not with FTP -- from the man page:

  Note: mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directory 
  subtrees of files. That can be done by transferring a tar(1) 
  archive of the subtree (in binary mode).     

:: yet another reason to prefer scp - again, from the man page:

  -r      Recursively copy entire directories.

FWIW!
