Copy the file you want to edit to a new file name, like:

 cd work/foo-1.2.3
 cp main.c main.c.orig

Then create the diff file:

 diff -u main.c.orig main.c > patch-aa

Put the patch-* files in your pkgsrc patches directory.

You can manually edit the resulting file to add comments or information at 
the top. We add a CVS Id tag at top to:
$NetBSD$

Change back to main directory of your package and run:

  make makepatchsum

Have a look at the many examples. Or if you have any specific example and 
question, please let us know.

You may want to try the pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkgdiff suite also.
