With pkgbase being the intended way for users to manage 15.0 systems,

Not that I consider an appropriate answer obvious, but
the file names as well as the content in the file? :
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD-ports.conf ?
I wasn't planning on changing the file name, no.
Why is then this file named “FreeBSD.conf” ?
Because it's the configuration file which describes pkg repositories
provided
by the FreeBSD project?
I would like to have a separate file for each repository, similar to the
contents of /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ or /etc/syslog.d/.
If there is one file for each repository, it can be managed using simple
tools such as cp / rm / sed to enable, disable or modify repositories -
good for scripted setups and automation. However, if there are multiple
repositories in one file, this task becomes much more complicated.
Kind regards
