I don't think there is one (or if there is its extremely ugly). If you 
do a
RewriteRule (.*) /mysite$1
then you have just created an infinite loop. Same with an external 
redirect. This is really what the DocumentRoot directive is for which 
can't go in a .htaccess for obvious reasons. Just get your admin to 
change the DocumentRoot or set up a new vhost for /mysite/

Or better yet 
# cd realwebrootdir; mv mysite/* .
;)
