Does it work with ipfw disabled? If so, then it seems resonable that ipfw is causing the problem. One of the ftp modes (pasv or port) requires high level ports to be accessible on the server. I just started drinking coffee this moring, so i can't remember which one yet. :) If i remember right, the default ftpd is influenced by hosts.allow and hosts.deny too.
