I worked around the situation locally by setting ALTABI
on `pkg update':

  # ALTABI=FreeBSD:12.0:amd64 pkg update -f

This allowed me to run

  # pkg upgrade

without any issues, so I assume none of the about 30 packages I updated
contained a wrong ABI/architecture.

I verified this by checking:

  # pkg query "%q" | sort | uniq -c
   112 FreeBSD:12:*
   219 FreeBSD:12:amd64

Note that you could also export ALTABI to the environment or set it
in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf, but I figured that I might forget it in
there.

Also, it seems like none of my packages were affected and not setting
it on `pkg upgrade' meant that pkg checks for that (at least that's
what I assume it does) and therefore I won't have to deal with
different ABIs in my installed packages later.

All of this should be really temporary anyway and hopefully be resolved
soon.

Cheers,
Michael
