what e.g. OpenBSD does is it has a patches/ subdirectory in the port dir.
Anything in there is a patch to be applied. No extra keyword/option for it.
(files/ is extra files to be added to WRKSRC; no keyword for it).
I believe it is simpler to what MP has now:
patchfiles need to be declared such with 'patchfiles',
and extra files need to be created _in_ the Portfile
(as e.g. textproc/mandoc does for configure.local).
