Hmm. There is a bootcode.bin but these days it is from
sysutils/rpi-firmware instead of from 
sysutils/u-boot-rpi2 :

# ls /usr/local/share/rpi-firmware/
LICENCE.broadcom	config.txt		fixup_cd.dat		fixup_x.dat		start_cd.elf		start_x.elf
bootcode.bin		fixup.dat		fixup_db.dat		start.elf		start_db.elf

# ls /usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-rpi2/
README		u-boot.bin
