I guess that is no longer supported with the default ftpd(8).
However, the system provides lukemftpd(8) as an alternative now.  That
supports a much enhanced capability to chroot ftp users, compared to
the regular ftpd(8).  No recompilation necessary.

I believe lukemftpd(8) is a port of the default ftpd from NetBSD.  Not
sure why it hasn't completely replaced the original FreeBSD ftpd yet.
