I don't think so.
My personal opinion: If you patch your source tree, you take
responsiblity for making it work (including making future patches
apply cleanly to it).
Were I keeping a local source tree for 1.3.x, and applying local
patches, i'd do something like:
cvs import the 1.3 sources
apply patches on the trunk
try to cvs import the 1.3.1 sources, discover there wasn't a
complete set, send hate-mail off to the NetBSD developers.
import the 1.3.2 sources
merge with the previous vendor branch import (i.e. to merge
patches, etc.)
I can't address your other concerns, though (e.g. the missing
files(?)), since i've not as much as looked at the patch. 8-)
