you can use gdal_translate tool from command line (you need to write
an XML file with url to your WMS, extent to retrieve, ...).

There's a ticket [1] about making Clipper (Raster menu) able to work with
WMS layers because in this moment it works with file-based layers only.
It would do what you need, taking care to create the XML file and calling
the gdal_translate command for you, but that feature is not implemented yet.

Another way is to use python + QGis WMS provider, but of course you
need some programming skills to do it.

Regards.
