Remote (FTP) publishing with MT?

Are there plans in the works to ever give MT the ability to publish content via FTP (that is, not on the local site where MT is installed)? Or is it already possible, by defining the local site in the blog configuration using an ftp:// URL? Inquiring minds want to know without doing their own homework.
I ask because I want to publish news of technology and publishing to my literary agency’s website, which is hosted elsewhere from my own personal sites, naturally. I’ll use Radio most likely, since it’s so easy to spawn a new category and have it upstream by FTP, but I had mocked up the blog in MT until I realized that I might not be able to publish to this nonlocal host.
