I haven't done it under Fedora but I do use it under xinetd under RH9.  
Make sure you specify: 

"Listen = NO" 

in vsftpd.conf 

and "chkconfig --list | grep vsftp" should show all levels as 
configured to "off"

"service vsftpd status" should also show the service as stopped


Here's a copy of my /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd file:

service vsftp
{
        disable = no
        socket_type = stream
        type = UNLISTED
        port = 21
        protocol = tcp
        wait = no
        user = root
        server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
        server_args = /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
        only_from = <myAllowedServerList>
}
