I would recommend to pull a cvs diff against the tree, say:

  cd /usr/src
  cvs -q diff $(cat list_of_files) > ~/floating_point.diff

Then "send-pr", and read your diff into the body of the PR with
":r ~/floating_point.diff". For category, I expect you should use
pseudo-port "port-m68k". By the way, you might like to subscribe to
the lightly trafficed "port-m68k" mailing list.
