Problem with patchfiles (same name for different versions)

MacPorts stores patchfiles in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/${name}
e.g. /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/mpfr contains here:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 787634 2007-07-24 16:10:58 mpfr-2.2.1.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 872947 2007-08-29 15:38:57 mpfr-2.3.0.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin   1826 2007-07-24 16:10:49 patch01
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin   1687 2007-07-24 16:10:52 patch02
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin  11655 2007-07-24 16:10:52 patch03
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin   7509 2007-07-24 16:10:53 patch04
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin  16992 2007-07-24 16:10:53 patch05

The problem is that patches are not stored in a subdirectory that
depends on the version. So, there is a clash if I want to declare
patch01 as a new patchfile for mpfr-2.3.0. What is the recommended
solution?
