I don't know whether what you want to do is the right thing.
However, the following will do it (possibly clobbering
any remaining .directory files in the process).
Put what you want in the .directory files in a prototype
file then:

find / -type d -print | \
xargs -i cp /ABSOLUTE/PATH/prototype {}/.directory

(with /ABSOLUTE etc. being the correct location for the prototype)
