Hearing you say this makes me think I'm missing something big.
I tried to figure it out, but was not able to make headway.
There ought to be a tutorial someday...
I often have large empty gaps at the top and bottom of a panorama,
like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36383814@N00/6327106374
So what I do is pick a photo that has a good chunk of sky or ground
and load it again in the project - A Hugin project can have several
instances of a single photo in different places, with different
masks.
Here are two sky photos and two ground photos reappearing twice
each: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36383814@N00/6327105688 (I've
turned off the 'real' photos so you can see them better).
Together you can see that the whole canvas area is now covered:

Here you can see how I used a mask in one of these duplicate photos
to exclude everything but the bit of ground that I wanted to reuse:

Stitching will merge these patches seamlessly, even the perspective
distortion matches up. Best of all, the output from Hugin doesn't
require any further editing:

better than you can achieve with clone brushes, hand feathering or
'content aware' fill.
