Via lang/pocl. FreeBSD Ports is not a museum for software abandoned upstream.
Did you see how many patches lang/beignet had before being removed?
Many were of questionable quality and, as Debian folks found out, support
for new LLVM versions introduced regressions.

If possible switch to Vulkan Compute. Very few ports support OpenCL
with Intel iGPU performance being slower than AVX2 even on Skylake.
