Following the link Ryan put in the ticket and navigating the obfuscatory 
GitHub interface, I got to 
https://github.com/DCIT/perl-CryptX/pull/99/commits/9568b3e7ce17d9e3ace6ddbfb7df2d2e387aa91f 
which shows the patch graphically. If you are dedicated to actually 
using the 'patch' utility with a patchfile, there should be a way to get 
GitHub to provide that, but I don't see it. It is small enough (3 new 
lines and 2 changed across 2 header files and crypt.c) that you could 
make changes to the source by hand AFTER getting it downloaded, 
extracted, and patched by any pre-existing MacPorts patches, after which 
MacPorts won't notice your changes:

port patch  p5.34-cryptx

You will then have a copy of the source tree under the port's work 
directory (`port work p5.34-cryptx`) where you can edit the files and 
them try 'port build p5.34-cryptx' again.
