I have an update in progress for the port, but I'll make sure to test it with Python 3.9.

What's the build issue?

BaseTools/Source/Python/AutoGen/UniClassObject.py:
codecs.lookup('ucs-2') --> LookupError: unknown encoding: ucs-2
So, change to codecs.lookup('utf-16')

BaseTools/Source/Python/Common/Misc.py:
array.tostring() has been renamed to array.tobytes()
ref. https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html#array.array.tobytes

Note, the document says "New in version 3.2: tostring() is renamed to tobytes() for clarity.", but seems pkg.freebsd.org can build it with Python 3.8.
