Portsentry is how I deal with this for services that are TCP Wrapper enabled. I believe every vsftpd build I've seen on every distro is so enabled.
How should portsentry help in this case? It makes only sense to use it for ports that aren't bound to a service. Or are you talking of a newer "portsentry" I don't know of? (AFAIK development of the sentry family was discontinued years ago.)
