Quick answers as I have to leave very soon.

Blacklistd source is in /usr/src/contrib/blacklistd/bin

Apply the patch there.

To recompile it go to /usr/src/usr.sbin/blacklistd and do the make there.

To find the new execuitable go to /usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/usr.sbin/blacklistd and put the blacklistd there into /usr/libexec

Note the amd64.amd64 directory will be different if you are not on an amd64 machine.  There will probably be only one directory there and it will be the right one.
