It was true back in august, probably the same now:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/2016/08/18/msg003915.html

It seems Matt Thomas has a private tree with aarch64 support, but
since he's a consultant he is waiting for compensation for this.

Have you managed to do any builds of FreeBSD? I am trying to set up a
virtual machine to install FreeBSD amd64 so I can use it for cross
compiling FreeBSD arm64 since I only have Linux hosts, but I woudl
prefer NetBSD due to the strong cross compiling support, even accros
alien OS-es.
