Is it failing when the port tries to apply the patch?


If your patch file looks like:
--- op_sguil.c-orig	11 Nov 2005 10:29:21 -0000	1.2
+++ op_sguil.c	13 Nov 2005 12:00:59 -0000
:

Then you need to edit so that it contains the patch to the file:

--- src/output-plugins/op_sguil.c-orig	11 Nov 2005 10:29:21 -0000	1.2
+++ src/output-plugins/op_sguil.c	13 Nov 2005 12:00:59 -0000
:
