You can use the second argument of FileNameSetter[] to specify that you
are looking for directories only.
FileNameSetter[Dynamic[f], "Directory"]
The online documentation reads (under the section "MORE INFORMATION"),
In FileNameSetter[name,"spec"]possible specifications of dialogs to use are:
"Open" file opening dialog (default)
"OpenList" multiple file opening dialog
"Save" file saving dialog
"Directory" directory picking dialog
