Very strange. After inetd wouldn't start, I started the ftp daemon automatically using /usr/libexec/ftpd -D -l -l and it started perfectly. I don't think something was bound to port 21 because ftpd alone could start but not inetd. BTW, I rebuild world before posting these messages, and still I had the same problem.
