go-devel is already able to compile on arm64 and some go ports have been
patched for arm64 to build fine - including wireguard-go.

So once the next quarterly branch is created (in less than 24h) and the
builders have finished (in a few days) we should have Go ports availabe on
arm64 including wireguard.

In addition to that there is a Rust based wireguard userspace
implementation in the works which should also work on FreeBSD - but that is
something for 2020.
