To my knowledge FreeBSD does not support 14 directly
building 13 or before: self hosted and sufficiently
recent older building newer only, as far as direct
builds go.

My understanding is that on 14 you can chroot into a
13 (or, say, 12.2) and build 13 in that environment
if the chroot area is set up for doing so, so a more
indirect way of building on what is ultimately a
native-14 configuration.
