at least in gitlab it is possible to disable LFS feature per repository.
It can be found in the repository under:

Settings -> General -> Visibility, project features, permissions -> 
Repository -> Git Large File Storage (LFS)

After I disabled this and saved the changes I was able again to push 
into my gitlab and all my pipelines are working again.

So at least for gitlab I can confirm it is working, maybe other tooling 
will continue to have problems.

Just reverting a commit does not change the history and the history 
reference these LFS objects which do not exist.
I can imagine that other projects, using FreeBSD ports, will maybe see a 
similar problem.

If a rewrite of the ports repository is an option should be decided by 
the git team, but I think that is the only clean way to get LFS objects 
out of the repository.
I would squash the two commits (the one that added the LFS object and 
the one that removed it again) into a single commit, like an interactive 
rebase can do this.

But as that will rewrite the complete history from this point on it is 
maybe not an option.
