Alternatives

yale-tftpd : Enhanced tftpd from Yale University and Cisco Systems (23,088 bytes)

atftpd : Advanced TFTP Server *

Justification

Recommended TFTP server by the LTSP group. The Yale tftpd is not recommended because it does not work with PXE booting clients apparently. atftpd is great however only builds on Linux.
