I'm not sure why the file isn't there - maybe because 12.X is EOL or portsnap
is deprecated?

Still, the solution is easy:

Download the ports tree snapshot as a tar from https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/

Choose a tag, and a format. I suggest 12.4-eol so just fetch

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/snapshot/ports-12-eol.tar.gz

rm -r /usr/ports
then untar the downloaded tar file into place.
