My guess is that the actual proftpd Makefile (not the port Makefile)
is doing something during "make install" which nukes the existing
proftpd.conf in PREFIX/etc.

Logically your Makefile sh code looks like it should do exactly what
you intend it (copy the EXAMPLESDIR configuration to etc as .sample
if the test(1) returns a non-zero exit code).

I assume it still breaks if you change the above sh code to the
following?

if [ ! -f ${PREFIX}/etc/proftpd.conf ]
then
  ${CP} ${EXAMPLESDIR}/etc/proftpd.conf ${PREFIX}/etc/proftpd.conf.sample
fi
