Setup ipfw (see handbook)
Then add the line:
/sbin/ipfw add 1 deny log icmp from any to any in icmptypes 0
To any startup script or just type it in yourself.
That should work (I didn't test it). If it doesn't, the ipfw manpage should 
help.
ICMP type 1 is an echo reply, FYI.
You shouldn't try to defeat the upload ratio of legit FTP servers.
