By specifying the umask in the required format. From "man ftpd":

     -u      The default file creation mode mask is set to umask, which is
             expected to be an octal numeric value.  Refer to umask(2) for
             details.  This option may be overridden by login.conf(5).

Use ftpd_flags="-u 664" for the group write permission.
