Well golly gee. After days of working along with a 32-bit install it
seems clear that the DVD+RW media I had used was in fact NOT being
blanked before a write attempt and if I had very carefully watched the
output from cdrecord I would have seen the error message. However I did
not and also did not bother to even check the /bin/ls ELF binary :

eris# uname -a
FreeBSD eris 12.0-RC1 FreeBSD 12.0-RC1 r340470 GENERIC  powerpc
eris# which ls
/bin/ls
eris# file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, 
version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter 
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, FreeBSD-style, for FreeBSD 12.0 (1200086), stripped
eris#

Much better.

Performance is not stellar but then again nothing is on an old G5 :

eris# /usr/bin/time -p /usr/sbin/portsnap fetch extract
.
.
.
Building new INDEX files... done.
real 1018.50
user 349.51
sys 627.27

Workable.

Something I should have checked more closely on the 32-bit instance:
eris#
eris# uname -aipKU
FreeBSD eris 12.0-RC1 FreeBSD 12.0-RC1 r340470 GENERIC  powerpc 
powerpc64 GENERIC 1200086 1200086
eris#
eris# uname -p
powerpc64
eris#

I have no idea what that said for a 32-bit install.

In any case I apologize for my noises made and will go back to the task
now of walking slowly through each of the ports I need. One by one doing
a build and watching what happens.

Here is the list I need as a minimum:

That is fairly close to exactly what I have on x86_64.

I also have an arm7 unit here from ASUS and wonder if that is possible?
