The tricky issue is the tradeoff between management burden and useful. If the patches aren't that crufty (meaning they are smallish and good hygiene for the upstream anyway, or likely to help on other systems), then I wouldn't object to adding them. You could put up a tarball that is usable with LOCALPATCHES. That would allow integration into pkgsrc, too.
