You can always symlink it but if you have other users with more than FTP access, you're probably just better off editing the FTP users by editing your /etc/passwd file to point them to their new location, /ftp/<username> or however you have it setup.

Schedule a downtime (stopping vsftpd), move the home user folders you need to move, edit their default /home directory to new location in /etc/passwd, you're done.
