I was wondering about this over the weekend, and it appears that the
package builder is having a problem with aarch64 builds due to an
issue with qemu-aarch64-static
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240037

The java/bootstrap-openjdk11 for aarch64 fails to run (it crashes with
a seg-fault) and the build for java/openjdk11 stops. The only way to
build openjdk11 for aarch64 is natively; cross-building is currently
failing.

Cheers.
