There are no official pre-build pkgs for armv5. See  
https://pkg.freebsd.org/.
I'm not aware of an unofficial repo of pkgs.

You can use the ports and build pkgs yourself.

https://www.freebsd.org/ports/
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

I use https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/portmaster on my armv5, but  
your milage may vary.

It might be possible to cross-compile pkgs on another faster (amd64)  
computer. But I have never done that, so can't give any advise.

Regards,
Ronald.
