No.

If you want to limit anonymous FTP use, and you don't want to use
something like wu-ftpd (I don't blame you), you have options.  For
example, you can get one of the small, anonymous-only FTP daemons out
there (or use the -A option to the stock ftpd) and give it a
concurrency limit with inetd, tcpserver, etc.  (If you still wanted to
run non-anonymous FTP, you'd have to do something clever, though.
Running on a different port or using some kind of "virtual host" setup
come to mind.)
