$ head -n 2 pkgtools/pkgdiff/DESCR
This package contains four tools to ease creating and maintaining
patches for pkgsrc: mkpatches, patchdiff, pkgdiff, and pkgvi.
$ ^d

Mkpatches makes use of gpatch on some systems. And just for the case 
that the configure stage would autodetect the tools required at runtime, 
these are installed before configuring and building the package.
