Comment:

 The perhaps not very obvious reason why "port load" and "port unload" use
 the wrong name for the plist is that startupitem.name is set only in the
 +server variant. So it should work if you:

 {{{
 sudo port load tftp-hpa +server
 sudo port unload tftp-hpa +server
 }}}

 This is silly though, and in fact there's no reason for the +server
 variant to exist at all anymore; it should be removed, and the launchd
 plist should be created always.

 While we're at it, the +enable_upload variant could be renamed; we don't
 like variant names beginning with
 "enable"/"disable"/"with"/"without"/"no"/etc.
