It's not by default and there is no variant to turn it on either. You can submit a ticket with a request for enhancement of the port to allow for this at: https://trac.macports.org/newticket

Meanwhile, if you feel confident in following the purftpd documentation on configuring SFTP, you can enable the SFTP module by changing the previously mentioned line 35 in the proftpd Portfile, to read:

set modules "mod_tls mod_sftp mod_sftp_pam"

instead of

set modules mod_tls

remember that any update to proftpd will likely break SFTP for you and you're going to have to, again, manually edit the Portfile and force a reinstall until there is a way to get it compiled from the supplied Portfile.

As an aside the proftpd port could probably be enhanced to build most, if not all, modules as DSOs so they're available to turn on, and off, via configuration in proftpd.conf.
