Solaris 6 does not have /usr/bin/gpatch, so due to the following snippet
from defs.SunOS.mk, $PATCH gets set to a (non-existant) patch.

.if exists(/usr/bin/gpatch)
PATCH?=         /usr/bin/gpatch -b
.else
PATCH?=         ${LOCALBASE}/bin/patch -b
.endif

For clean installs, this breaks on the first package which needs to
apply pkgsrc patches.  I could of course install devel/patch manually
each time on a new 2.6 machine, but is there a cleaner way to fix this
for automatic dependancy?
