Maybe something like that:

mkdir /your/ogg/basedir
cd /your/flac/basedir
find . -type d -exec mkdir /your/ogg/basedir/'{}' \;
find . -name '*.flac' -exec oggenc --quiet --quality 4 '{}' \;
find . -name '*.ogg' -exec mv '{}' /your/ogg/basedir/'{}' \;

If ogg and flac directories are on different filesystems, your flac filesystem must (temporarily) have enough free space for all ogg files.

Mark.
