Your solution is described in the FAQ
http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#propertyvalue-as-name-for-property

I would suggest using multiple properties files
  <property name="environment" value="ft"/> <!-- ft, st, pt, pr ... -->
  <property file="environment.${environment}.properties"/>
With stored properties eg in environment.ft.properties
  deploy.dir=ft/stage/2
  ftp.user=...
  ftp.pwd=...
  ftp.server=...
Same properties (but different values) in the other files.
The simply use
  <ftp server="${ftp.server}" remotedir="${deploy.dir}" ...
