keepassxc depends on botan2. If you want to keep keepassxc, don't go with botan3. Wait until it can use botan3.

(Excerpt of Makefile of keepassxc 2.7.6)
Code: 
LIB_DEPENDS=    libargon2.so:security/libargon2 \
        libqrencode.so:graphics/libqrencode \
        libbotan-2.so:security/botan2
 
You could change the lib dependency of keepassxc to botan3 yourself:

/usr/ports/security/keepassxc/Makefile
Diff: 
19 LIB_DEPENDS=    libargon2.so:security/libargon2 \
20                 libqrencode.so:graphics/libqrencode \
21 -               libbotan-2.so:security/botan2
   +               libbotan-3.so:security/botan3
Build the port, test the resulting binary for side effects. If none occur, open a PR to ask the maintainer to update the port with the changes made. Consider providing a patch attached to the PR.
 
I suggest you simply wait until the issue has been resolved. There are a number of ports depending on botan2, if it gets removed all those ports would get removed too (you can't have a port with a non-existent dependency).

Code: 
This port is required by:

    for Libraries

            deskutils/qownnotes
            editors/encryptpad
            editors/rehex
            net-im/biboumi
            security/keepassxc
            security/rnp
            sysutils/daggy

The maintainers will need to modify their ports or risk removal when botan2 gets removed.
