Look in the imagecache module
A function I use to prevent/help this problem is imagecache_create_path(). It has been a while since I read the actual funcion, but look there first. When I call it in several of my own modules, it looks to see ifthe file exists for the preset called and if there isn't one, one is created. Hope that helps.

Filefield Sources
Filefield Sources module will allow you to select existing files on the server that were uploaded via FTP, and reference them in an imagefield after the fact. Not sure if that's what you need, but it sounds close.
