Is there a way to add a directory structure to an SVN repository without adding the files contained in the folders?

You can add a directory without adding its contents:

$ svn add --depth=empty otherdir
A         otherdir

Edit: This doesn't work recursively though, is there any way to do that too?

If you want to do it recursively, maybe this will work for you?

find . -type d ! -name '.' ! -path "*.svn*" -print0 | xargs -0 svn add --depth=empty

Late to the party, but

svn add --non-recursive

works non-recusively.
