Thanks for the replies, I guess I could have been clearer.  I am interested in both base system and packages, and 64-bit arm (aarch64).

Do you know what aarch64 hardware is used?  I have found cross building aarch64 packages on amd64 with qemu in poudriere is excruciatingly slow, and some ports just won't build that way.  (17 hrs for ghc, 12 for gcc10, rust fails entirely.  Besides that, a few others I would like to build need support for ARM to be added, and I am no ARM guru.)
