What version of ftp-proxy are you using?

The ftp-proxy with FreeBSD 6.x doesn't use PF anchors.

What is your entire pf.conf?

Have a look at your ftp-proxy manual page. You need to also allow the 
connections inbound. The man page has a two examples of this and mentions 
-u and -m and -M ftp-proxy options.

As for your pftpx tests, use pfctl to show the rules for your "pftpx" 
anchor. Maybe that will tell you something.
