11.4 and stable/11 branch reaches EOL on 2021-09-30 [1]. After that ports/
compatibility to be removed [2] and existing packages may disappear[3].
If you can't upgrade consider backing up e.g.,
# pkg fetch -r FreeBSD -a
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# printf 'cache: {\n url: "file:///var/cache/pkg",\n enabled: yes\n}\n' >/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/cache.conf
# pkg repo /var/cache/pkg

[3] /latest and /quarterly tend to disappear almost immediately after EOL
while /release_<n> stick for a few months/years. This is likely because
ports/ break *before* the poudriere jails are disabled and removed.
