You could (a) install tcp_wrappers, (b) run ftpd through ucspi-tcp instead of inetd, since it comes with a tcp_wrappers-like facility, or (c) tell your firewall to drop packets from that IP bound for port 21 on the floor. Note that conventional wisdom says that you should setup non-secure services like telnetd and ftpd by inclusion, rather than exclusion.
