Actually the passive ports are already specified in the <global> section
of /etc/proftpd.conf:

<Global>
AllowOverwrite          yes
  <Limit ALL SITE_CHMOD>
    AllowAll
  </Limit>
  # Restrict the range of ports from which the server will select when
sent the
  # PASV command from a client. Use IANA-registered ephemeral port range of
  # 49152-65534
  PassivePorts 49152 65534
  IdentLookups                  off
</Global>

The passive ports are set to the port range 49152-65534. You can change
it there and it won't get overwritten on site updates.

Not much luck about the MasqueradeAddress, though. It needs to go into
the <VirtualHost> container. Which will get rewritten on all FTP related
updates.
