I'm pretty sure proftpd has supported it for a while, though personally 
I've never been to fond of that project. pure-ftpd should support it as 
well.
Outside of pkgsrc I'd like to make a blatant plug for my own ftpd. :) 
It can be found at http://www.morth.org/moftpd/ and should compile 
nicely on netbsd since I've run it on it. Haven't had time to work on 
it for a while though, and I noticed latest version sometimes doesn't 
reap its children (running from inetd fixes that though).
