Comment (by ryandesign):
Hangs were observed in #66780, #66851, #66861, and #66954 due to incorrect
`worksrcdir` (so they would have failed with the macOS ≤ 12 `patch`
program too, just with a better error message). Ports having incorrect
`worksrcdir` should decrease over time as they're found and fixed. If
that's the only condition leading to a hang, and we can work around the
automatic applying of a reversed patch by adding `-N` or `--forward`, then
maybe we can tolerate continued use of /usr/bin/patch.
