Another great solution that I think should also be added to the wiki.
Unfortunately, I don't have a amd64 to use for this. I suppose I could
use digital ocean and cross build on there and pkg will fetch that.

For the host OS, do you need to have what you're cross building for?
IOW, can I install 11-release and cross build 12-current? Glossing
over your link and https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/crossbuild it
doesn't seem that a requirement.
