Yes and I think it would be a good idea to create an index.html in those
directories, and instruct people that the same information can be retrieved by
downloading and parsing
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/packagesite.txz

I believe this need to slightly modify the pkg mirror scripts to put that
static page. It may take a while to research how to do so (or asking one knows)
but it is worthwhile to do so.
