What do you plan to do?  The wine-fbsd64 patch is to create a wine port that 
will run i386 (read 32bit) Windows programs on FreeBSD amd64 (read 64bit).  It 
is *not* a patch to run 64bit Windows on FreeBSD amd64.

Can you please clarify what a "self-maintained" port is?

What options to you need passed?  Are these port options and configure 
options?  

The packages available at mediafire have many port options enabled (i.e. it is 
not a build with the default options).

The wine-fbsd64.diff patch is used to create a separate port (called wine-
fbsd64).  That port is a slave to emulators/wine(-devel).

That patch could be better thought as a shar archive.  Apply it to 
$PORTSDIR/emulators, then compile under an i386 environment.  

I will be creating a wiki over the weekend that will explain in detail how to 
use that patch/port (which will be committed to ports relatively soon).  

If you need clarity on any issue please ask :-)

Regards,

P.S. I am the maintainer of that patch.
