>From my https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2643 submittal:

# pkg update -rFreeBSD-base
No repositories are enabled.

# pkg-static update -rFreeBSD-base
No repositories are enabled.


For reference:

# pkg -v
2.7.3

# pkg-static -v
2.7.3

# head /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
==> /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf <==
#
# To disable a repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create or edit /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf, e.g.:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "FreeBSD-ports: { enabled: no }" >>
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#   echo "FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { enabled: no }" >>
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#
# Note that the FreeBSD-base repository is disabled by default.

==> /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf <==
FreeBSD-base:        { enabled: no }
FreeBSD-ports:       { enabled: no }
