The function directory-files gives you a list of files and
directories in a directory.  You can then examine each element of the
list whether it is a directory.  If it is, call yourself recursively.

(defun walk-subtree (dir)
  (mapcar (lambda (f)
            (setq f (expand-file-name f dir))
            (if (file-directory-p f) 
                (walk-subtree f)
              (message "Found a file: %s" f)))
          (directory-files dir)))
