Put "use_bzip2 yes", list your bz2 distfile's name in distname if necessary, and list your patchfiles' names in the patchfiles line; any mixture of uncompressed, gzip-compressed, or bzip2-compressed patchfiles should be fine and MacPorts will handle each of them based on their extension. At least that's how I read the code:

Hmm, what I wrote applies to patchfiles -- compressed or uncompressed text files. But you said your patch is a .tar.gz. If that's true, then indeed you'll need something custom. I wouldn't override the extract phase; I'd let MacPorts extract the main distfile as per usual. List the main distfile name in "extract.only" so MacPorts doesn't try to extract the other file. Then write a post-extract block to manually extract the extra .tar.gz file.
