No it isn't. You can check the image with mdconfig:

# mdconfig -a -u 0 -f FreeBSD-13.0-BETA3-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img
# mount /dev/md0s2a /mnt2
# find /mnt2/boot -maxdepth 1 |wc -l
      44
# find /mnt2/boot/kernel -maxdepth 1 | wc -l
     648
# file /mnt2/boot/kernel/kernel
/mnt2/boot/kernel/kernel:     ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /red/herring, BuildID[sha1]=531a9483ea83ca3691c602250151b72ead464644, not stripped

My Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) runs FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE (updated from
stable/12). But I have to use an old version of u-boot.bin.

What error do you get?
