This worked for me (although it me not be the perfect way):

cd /usr/src
gunzip -cd netbsd-1.3-1.3.1.diff.gz | patch -f -p1 


The -p1 strips the first part of the filenames in the diff, so
that it works for files in the current directory, and I used -f
(force) as I only had the kernel sources installed (I guess you do 
too on the zip) and the -f option will cause patch to ignore patches
for files it cannot find.

Feico.
