TJ,

thanks for your tips. Got it working on both OS X 10.4 and 10.5.  
Here's the tweaked and functioning plist item, in case anyone is  
interested.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd 
">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>KeepAlive</key>
	<dict>
		<key>SuccessfulExit</key>
		<true/>
	</dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>org.proftpd.proftpd</string>
	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>/usr/local/sbin/proftpd</string>
		<string>-n</string>
	</array>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
