ftpchroot is fixed in 10.2.4
Unless I am smokin' butt crack, I do believe that the FTPd in OS X 10.2.4 (client) now obeys the etc/ftpchroot file.
I am a happy man.
(granted, I did a couple funky things to my FTP test box before I realized that the ftpchroot file might actually work, so I need to go to a "clean" 10.2.4 box and retest)

If you run the FTP server, it allows you restrict users' access to their home directories *only* as opposed to being able to see all the drive from "/".

Well, I tried it again on a "virgin" 10.2.4 Mac and ftpchroot doesn't work! Grrr!
Here is an EASY fix:
Read the info:

Download his ftpd file from here:

Replace your current /usr/libexec/ftpd with his. Watch the permissions, it needs to be "-r-xr-xr-x" (owner = root, group = wheel)
Create your etc/ftpchroot file (unless you have one)
Start ftp services
Test!
Works great!
