Well, it depends on what you mean by "using lartc" :-)

There is a "helper" match in iptables that does exactly what you need. It's
already over 2 years old so I think any quite recent iptables version should
have it (1.2.11 does).

Use like

iptables -t mangle -A wherever -m helper ---helper ftp -j MARK whatever
