Same here:

# pkg update
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:11:x86:32/latest/meta.txz: Not Found
pkg: repository FreeBSD has no meta file, using default settings
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date
All repositories are up-to-date

As you point this messages are harmless and could be safely ignored.

See libpkg/repo/binary/update.c for further details:

/* Fetch meta */
        local_t = *mtime;
        if (pkg_repo_fetch_meta(repo, &local_t) == EPKG_FATAL)
                pkg_emit_notice("repository %s has no meta file, using "
                    "default settings", repo->name);
