Heh.. yeah. But the client isn't gonna go for that. LOL. Any way to allow regular ol' FTP using SELinux? Or does that just defeat the purpose of having a secure SELlinux server entirely?

What is the context here? The big problem with ftp is that it passes the user credentials in the clear. There is nothing particularly wrong with an anonymous ftp download area where the files are put in place with something more secure - but it is usually easier to use http for that and you'll have less trouble with firewalls.
