Perhaps you should take a look at 'man ftpd'. Anon ftp needs strict directory setup and permissions. I'm wondering if you think you need more room on /var and were thinking of moving to /usr. You might ask the freebsd-security list for a resource on a way to do this. You might symlink the ftp mountpoint to /usr, but you'd better ask security experts first. Have you googled on this?
