ports-mgmt/bsdadminscripts2 comes with a loader updater for GPT partitioned
drives, it has a --dry-run mode to show you what it does:

root# loaderupdate -D nvd0
gpart bootcode -b/boot/pmbr nvd0
gpart bootcode -p/boot/gptzfsboot -i1 nvd0
mkdir -p nvd0p2
mount -tmsdosfs -osync /dev/nvd0p2 nvd0p2
mkdir -p nvd0p2/efi/FreeBSD
cp /boot/loader.efi nvd0p2/efi/FreeBSD/bootamd64.efi
efibootmgr -Bb 0001
efibootmgr -cl nvd0p2:/efi/FreeBSD/bootamd64.efi -L 'FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #11 stable/13-n245147-ee389afecf85: Fri Apr  9 10:16:57 CEST 2021 amd64 [nvd0p2]'
