Not cleanly. I've made the necessary hacks to NetBSD's ftp so that the
differences are minimal (a new Makefile, a mod to main.c to set
__progname, and a bunch of files to implement missing functionality).

Eventually there will be a `cleaner' port, which should allow you
to use the netbsd-current ftp with a `libbsd' library which you
link against.
