How do I deploy Polycom phones using the Trixbox ftp? I noticed the location of the ftp folder in Trixbox. Do I just upload the sip.cfg files there and point new Polycom phones to the IP address of the Trixbox? I currently have the phones setup via the web interface, but future deployments need to be config file.

Trixbox by default uses VSFTPD - The Very Secure FTP Daemon

I found it almost impossible to configure (could be me) so I switched to ProFTPD - RPM's for it are easy to find (I found mine on pBone) and there is a fairly easy to understand interface in Webmin for ProFTPD - so it's easy to get going.

Once you have it installed, you can have it use the /tftpboot directory, or you can create another directory and just create a bash script to sync the directories - the Endpoint Manager by default puts the files it creates in /tftpboot, but I am sure you could modify that script if you wanted to.
