Using a local poudriere repo fixes all of the above ;)

The repository the package came from is stored in the annotation tag
named "repository".
You can see this, e.g., by using
pkg query "%n %At %Av"
or
pkg info -R <packagename>
By default this is "FreeBSD" for the official repos. If you install
locally ("make install"), it's not set.

See https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup, there will be a 12.3.

Well, that's the recommended way of doing what you're trying to
accomplish, otherwise you'll be in dependency hell like we've all
been updating our machines in the 2000s.
Alternatively, you could create a jail or VM manually, install all
packages you need in there from ports using make install. You
can retrieve the list of what you need on your target host using
pkg query -e "%a = 0" %o
Then run "pkg create -a" on that machine to get a set of all binary
packages. Then copy those over to your target machine and install them
using pkg add. Will be messy, but kind of work. I really would prefer
poudriere over that though.
Best
