Last year I tried to port it, see the tarball
containing ftpfs and the mercurial history
of my changes:
	http://wmipf.in-berlin.de/ftpfs-p9p-hg.tar.gz

It works basically, but some problems remain (from the readme):

  -	"mv" does not work, so one can't rename anything.
	Ftpfs complains
	about wstat not being implemented. Is there a difference to
	Plan 9?

  -	Sometimes a "Software caused connection abort" appears,
	making ftpfs exit. I don't know whether this is ftpfs's fault,
	or is just the normal behaviour of an FTP server.

(Might be solved already:)
  -	Perhaps ftpfs should not use rfork on plan9port, but rather
	proccreat for io(), since the `dying' variable seems not to
	work as probably intended.
