If you expect flow-tools to provide such an option you should probably
ask on an appropriate mailing list - this is *not* a Juniper problem.

Oh btw, as far as I know flow-tools doesn't have an option to multiply
by the sampling rate.

Another point here - when you are doing sampling, you cannot expect
"exact traffic" if you mean something which matches the SNMP interface
counters exactly.
