 I got a fast response from Luke Mewburn, the FTP guy for NetBSD. 
 Their ftp(1) is 80 patchlevels ahead of FreeBSD's and has many more 
 improvements than just the Host: header. He says:
 
 "I would recommend that FreeBSD imports and tracks
 ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/lukemftp/lukemftp-1.1.tar.gz
 because that is a `self contained' product with various fixes to stuff 
 like libedit and extra libc functions which FreeBSD may not have yet."
 
 You can also look at 
 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/basesrc/usr.bin/ftp/fetch.c
 to see how far ahead they are with just ftp/fetch.c.
