I'll have to test further, but it looked to me like
# pkg update -r FreeBSD-base
# pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-base
worked? Maybe I had the repository enabled by accident when I was testing.
If necessary we'll have bsdinstall put "FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }"
into /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf when doing a pkgbase install.
