What else should I consider?

AFIK all Microsoft ftp clients will only do active ftp, but I'm
not a MS sorta guy.

The next version of OpenBSD will have a new ftp-proxy(8) that
uses a anchored table (I think that's the right vocabulary ?)
that is dynamically updated to open only the necessary ports.
Check out the man pages in cvs.  The code for the new ftp-proxy
is from an existing project that's available independently.

I always just figured that it does not matter if the ports are
open, open only to the firewall, if there's nothing listening.
