I get a very different result. On a 12.2 system with tmux already 
installed:

artemis:~/Projects> pkg info -rdx tmux | less
tmux-3.2a
Depends on     :
         libevent-2.1.12

So I moved to a 12.2 without tmux. The is a lot of extra interactions which 
I assume are well understood:

york:/home/doug# pkg info tmux
pkg: No package(s) matching tmux

What I wanted so lets install it:

york:/home/doug# pkg install tmux

I did not want it on this system. The the above systems used the default 
FreeBSD respository. It seem possible in your case the fault lies there
