So, set up tracking first as suggested. With a remote named "freebsd",
it would be

  git branch --set-upstream-to=freebsd/main master

Note however I would suggest to

1. name your local branch the same as the remote one and
2. name the "default" remote "origin"

Both don't really matter, just conventions (and it will look the same as
the result from cloning). The following commands would achieve it
(untested):

  git init --initial-branch=main .
  git remote add origin https://git.freebsd.org/ports.git
  git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main
  git pull
