This sounds like you copied the ebuild to your local overlay but not
the files/ dir which includes the patch. So the patch is not found.

It is in the tree, 470.x is a long-term-support branch and as long as
NVIDIA continue to support it there's no reason to drop it from the
tree. Just use the ::gentoo version.

470.182.03 is even fairly recent, was a security release added to the
tree last month followed by the cleanup of the vulnerable 470.161.03.
