In a simelar situation I did this by setting up a centeral cvsup mirror (allows you to maintain patches between cvsupdates [i.e. if the file does not differ rcs stamp will not clobber it]). So you always have the most upto date to build against. I am not sure on how to handle the manual security patches on there first application but once applied until the effect files are updated you will not have to reapply the patches.
