Yes, I was caught by the same issue, with 12.0S a few days ago (its now
PRERELEASE)

Its a LOT worse when you pull the sources and build in an isolated environment.
 There is no pkg-static!  Why?  Because you're expected to be network connected
and run /usr/bin/pkg which then pulls binaries down.

I found it odd when I did try /usr/bin/pkg (yes, I'm naughty) because it sought 
http://FreeBSD-repository.JdeBP.info/Latest/pkg.txz
(apologies if its https, but I'm using hand notes due to the secure env).

Pulling binaries from what look like phishing addresses, someone has a sense of
humour.
