By "BSD-style patch naming" I assume you mean omitting ".diff" from  
the end of the name?

I did bring this up before; here is the thread:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2007-October/ 
003139.html

In follow-ups, nox and jmpp agreed that using ".diff" at the end of  
the filename is a good idea. Therefore, "port lint" recommends this.

The new guide has not yet been updated recommend using ".diff" at the  
end of patchfile names, and the examples there still don't. The guide  
should be updated.
