OK, here we get a different result from the GeoDNS answer.

# host pkg.FreeBSD.org
pkg.FreeBSD.org is an alias for pkgmir.geo.FreeBSD.org.
pkgmir.geo.FreeBSD.org has address 203.80.16.152
pkgmir.geo.FreeBSD.org has IPv6 address 2404:a8:3ff::50:2
pkgmir.geo.FreeBSD.org mail is handled by 0 .

# fetch https://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf
fetch: 
https://pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/quarterly/meta.conf: Not 
Found

I tried to use HTTP instead of HTTPS in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:
FreeBSD: {
   url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
   mirror_type: "srv",
   signature_type: "fingerprints",
   fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
   enabled: yes
}
FreeBSD-kmods: {
   url: 
"pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_quarterly_${VERSION_MINOR}",
   mirror_type: "srv",
   signature_type: "fingerprints",
   fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
   enabled: yes
}
