I'm the Satoshi, and I'm not sure what you are asking.  If Rod
answered it, fine; otherwise, maybe you can help us understand exactly 
what you are trying to do.

One thing I know is that patch won't move files to different
directories for you.  If you need to do that, you should add a
pre-patch (or post-patch) rule to your port Makefile.
