pkg-query(8) evaluation format does not have variable for repository, 
but you can lock/unlock FreeBSD-base packages before/after:

# sh -c 'pkg query "%n %R" | grep " FreeBSD-base" | while read A B; 
do pkg lock -y $A; done'

# pkg-static upgrade -fy

...

# sh -c 'pkg query "%n %R" | grep " FreeBSD-base" | while read A B; 
do pkg unlock -y $A; done'
