 I accidentally chmodded my entire /etc/ dir to mode

One possible solution might be to obtain etc38.tgz from
FTP site and extract it to some directory (not root /).
Then obtain GNU coreutils and use gnu-chmod and its
reference option, from the manual:

      --reference=RFILE
              use RFILE's mode instead of MODE values

This way you would not have to merge any changes,
on the other hand this requires compilation of at least
the gnu-chmod so mtree might be the best solution as
James Strandboge suggested.
