for mine to work I needed to modify the xinetd.d file to ftp to
include on the FLAGS line IPV6

ie:

 default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
#       normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
	FLAGS			= IPV6
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/local/v6/sbin/in.ftpd
        server_args             = -l -a
        log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        nice                    = 10
}

I also compiled and installed the ftp daemon that
comes with the usagi package. It is possible your daemon is not compiled 
with ipv6 support or just not enabled via inetd or xinetd.
