I'm 95% certain that you can create a FileSet which takes a list of targets 
from the output of a script. You could use this feature to solve your problem 
by writing a very small script which used find and create a recursive 
directory list.

*checks the documentation*

Indeed, you can do this, see:

http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION000147000000000000000

Something like this might do the trick (untested):

FileSet {
  ...
  Include {
    File = "|dirlist.sh /proc"
  }
}

Where dirlist.sh is:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/find $1-type d

You could do this without the separate file, but its personal preference.
