You're not reading what we're writing, rc.conf/rc.conf.local is not the correct file.. it's for system services.
The rc script has no knowledge of proftpd, nor does it act upon the inclusion of the "proftpd_*" variables, If you read the script and you'll understand why.
You need to modify rc.local (NOT rc.conf.local) to start proftpd, this includes a path to the executable name and any arguments required.
