So I did, and it worked well.
However, It may be that my inexperience with 'patch' is the culprit here,
the page says:
%% diff -u src/Makefile.in.orig src/Makefile.in > patch-src-Makefile.in.diff

but doing so, seems to inverse the patch.

I copied the original file from xx.cc to xx.cc.orig,
I changed xx.cc
I did diff -u xx.cc.orig xx.cc

but the patch said
- what I added
+ what I removed

when I wanted
+ what I added
- what I removed

But doing
diff -u xx.cc xx.cc.orig
instead did the trick.

I also bumped revision in Portfile from 1 to 2

The patch itself worked, and I can see YouTube via mediatomb

the reinstall of mediatomb was successful

Thanks for your pointer.
I'll see if I can contact the maintainer about this patch.
I saw how to proceed in the docs .
