The fundamental problem is that you're trying to build AbiWord 3.0
using pkgsrc patches for 2.8. The code base has changed substantially
between these releases, and the existing package won't necessarily be
something you can simply update a few lines in.

In the case of the first patch, all those fixes have already been
applied upstream, so it's no longer relevant for 3.0. If you want to
build AbiWord 3.0, you may have to do a fair amount of work to get it
into shape.
