AFAIK, there's no built in way.

Applying the following patch to the function org-agenda-files gets you
there, but it's not clean at all, and certainly very unefficient :

diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el

                                 (if (file-directory-p f)
-                                    (directory-files

                                   (list f)))
                               files)))
     (when org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files

Also it might be faster to rely on an external "find" tool but that requires
modifying the regexp (-regex applies to whole path).

HTH,
