It is quite simple to create the patch.

If you have a working copy checked out with svn, then it would be:

cd /usr/ports/[category]/[port]
- Make the necessary changes to the port
- After testing the port make sure to do a 'make clean'
svn diff > port.diff

Otherwise make a copy of the port:

cd /usr/ports/[catagory]
cp port port-orig
cd port
- Make the necessary changes to port
- After testing port make sure to do a 'make clean'
cd ..
diff -ruN port-orig port > port.diff

Then just submit the port.diff in a PR using either send-pr or
