mkdir: copying a folder's permissions

Hi,

I wanted to know how to create a folder using mkdir and then have it copy the permissions from another specified folder on the system.

For example if I did this:

mkdir /Volumes/USBSTICK/System

How can I make it copy the permissions from the /System folder ?

Thanks
