I had to adjust: /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

The issue was the http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:armv7/quarterly <http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:armv7/quarterly>
reference, instead of using /latest . FreeBSD:14:armv7 does not
have quarterly yet. See:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:armv7/

that only lists latest/ not quarterly/ .

Have /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf look like:

more /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 
# $FreeBSD$
#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

I did not have to do this for the rock64 or rpi-arm64 snapshots, as
I remember, just the armv7 snapshot.
