Looking, the check in history for sysutils/u-boot-rpi3-32
reports for the creation of sysutils/u-boot-rpi3-32 :

Revision 536829 - Directory Listing 
Added Fri May 29 01:27:16 2020 UTC (2 weeks, 5 days ago) by brd
Add sysutils/u-boot-rpi3-32 to build a 32-bit version of u-boot

This is useful for using the camera hardware, as
misc/raspberrypi-userland does not support aarch64.

Approved by:	imp, manu
Differential Revision:	
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21603


So:

A) sysutils/u-boot-rpi3 is for use with aarch64 FreeBSD
B) sysutils/u-boot-rpi3-32 is for use with armv7 FreeBSD
