yes:

freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE
freebsd-update install
# nextboot -k GENERIC
reboot
freebsd-update install
# check that config files in etc are correct!
reboot
# Make sure you point pkg repo definition to correct FreeBSD version
pkg update -f
pkg-static install -f pkg
pkg-static upgrade -F -y
pkg upgrade -f -y
freebsd-update install
reboot

Check for more details the documentation:
