After some investigation on how SD card images are setup, I did the
following:
dd if=FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-PINE64-LTS.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m
[72]cicely7# pwd
/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-orangepi-pc2
[71]cicely7# dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/da0 bs=1k seek=8 conv=sync
644+1 records in
645+0 records out
660480 bytes transferred in 1.393002 secs (474141 bytes/sec)

The system booted fine with that.
Some warnings however:

I'm a bit irritated that the PINE64-LTS image is somewhat a generic one
in that it uses a GENERIC kernel and also contains dtb files for other
boards, but there isn't a GENERICSD as it is for 32bit arm.

Just booted the board with GBit ethernet link and it only takes 50mA, which
is amazing low.
Not exact measurement with a 10mA resolution USB measurement plug, so it
might be a bit off.

Is there anything special to consider for zfsroot?
Found some online info on how to setup an ARM64 cloud server with zroot.
I'm aware that the board only has 1GB RAM, but I'm still tempted to give it
a try.
