opie was removed. There is a port now security/opie. 

20221002:
        OPIE has been removed from the base system.  If needed, it can
        be installed from ports (security/opie) or packages (opie).
        Otherwise, make sure that your PAM policies do not reference
        pam_opie or pam_opieaccess.
