No, but a wee bit of scripting will let you do it. Assuming you have 
removed the "ftp" tests from hosts.cfg, they should be purple. So you 
can use the "xymondboard" command to get the hostnames, then pass each 
hostname to a "drop" command:

~/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 \
     "xymondboard test=ftp color=purple fields=hostname" | \
while read H; do
    ~/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop $H ftp"
done
