From Packages.txt:

	The patch-* files should be in "diff -bu" format, and apply without a fuzz
	to avoid problems (to force patches to apply with fuzz you can set
	PATCH_FUZZ_FACTOR=-F2).  Furthermore, do not put changes for more than one
	file into a single patch-file, as this will make future modifications more
	difficult.

So, in summary: pkgsrc doesn't like that.  Patches have to apply cleanly.

Apply the patch manually and regenerate it, preferably using pkgdiff from
pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgdiff.
