From pkg(8) (in 12.2):

     bootstrap
             This is for compatibility with the pkg(7) bootstrapper.
             If pkg is already installed, nothing is done.

             If invoked with the -f flag an attempt will be made to
             reinstall pkg from remote repository.


From pkg(7)

     pkg bootstrap [-f]
                    Attempt to bootstrap and do not forward anything to
                    pkg(8) after it is installed.  If the -f flag is
                    specified, then pkg(8) will be fetched and installed
                    regardless if it is already installed.
