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 :

	Modified   lisp/org.el
diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el
index 7fd1576..0068c49 100644
--- a/lisp/org.el
+++ b/lisp/org.el
@@ -17797,8 +17797,7 @@ used by the agenda files.  If ARCHIVE is `ifmode', do this only if
     (setq files (apply 'append
 		       (mapcar (lambda (f)
 				 (if (file-directory-p f)
-				     (directory-files
-				      f t org-agenda-file-regexp)
+				     (find-lisp-find-files f org-agenda-file-regexp)
 				   (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,
