I think it could be done as a module, which registers its own commands.
Then the compat mode would be initiated with `lftp -e "module compat"'.

The module would contain function module_init:

extern "C"
void module_init()
{
	CmdExec::RegisterCommand("get",&compat_get,"get source [dest]","get a file (compatible with ftp(1))");
	...
}
