I expect that "pkg info pkg" will report something
like:

. . .
Architecture   : FreeBSD:13:amd64
. . .
Annotations    :
	FreeBSD_version: 13?????
. . .

I'm unclear if you build your own ports vs. use
pkg install to get ones from the FreeBSD servers.

But, either way, if I understand right, the warning
implies the above (presuming you have not forced
a definition of ABI). I'm not sure if a definition
of ABI can lead to such notices when it mismatches
with the architecture/annotations for pkg.
