I'd look at ARM64 boards.  The life will be longer, and the support
from the FreeBSD community will likely receive more attention.

Many boards have multiple I2C buses...  the Pine A64-LTS has a couple
I2C buses, but they are both on ribbon conenctors (TP and CSI)...

There is also the Zynq-7000 option, though it's an armv7 cpu..
I recently brought up the Cora Z7 board...  With the PL (FPGA), you
can add many more I2C interfaces...  We don't have a driver for
Xilinx's AXI I2C yet, but with that, (and a bit of block building w/
Vivado), you could have 10 or 20 I2C buses...

Let me know if you'd like more info.
