Since this is in the ports, refresh your ports tree. Then just cd to 
/usr/ports/ftp/proftpd and do make && make deinstall && make reinstall. Most 
ports will not munge your config files by this process. Just in case, I 
always set aside a copy of the relevant .conf file as insurance.

This is the "manual" do it yourself way. Portupgrade and others can 
accomplish the same. But this is quick and simple for just doing one port. 
Also don't forget to restart the daemon afterward.  :-)
