You're not doing anything wrong.  According to my quick look on freshports.org for the net/wireguard package, it shows a runtime dependency on net/wireguard-go, and I don't believe Go currently works on FreeBSD/arm64 (though folks on here have said it can be built if you do a native build on an actual FreeBSD/arm64 itself---not a QEMU cross-build).

There was a thread about building Go and Go-based ports here on freebsd-arm not so long ago.  I got the sense from that thread that the situation was improving wrt. Go working on FreeBSD/arm64.

Cheers,

Paul.
