Changing the definition of ftp in /etc/services seems like a bad thing
to do.  But YMMV.

Now I'm getting out of my league, because I don't run an ftpd.
But looking at the vsftpd.conf manpage, you can set a listen_port parameter.
You can probably do something similar with wu-ftpd.
Same definitely goes for sshd; I regularly run it on a nonstandard port,
and I have to edit /etc/ssh/ssh-config for that.
Most daemons have their own config file for specifying this and other 
parameters.
