Don't know, but there are a handful of hex editors in ports.  Maybe one of
them will fit?

[danielby: /usr/ports]$ make search name=hex | grep "^Path:.*/editors"
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/chexedit
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/ghex
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/ghex2
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/hexcurse
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/hexedit
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/hexpert
Path:   /usr/ports/editors/lfhex
