 * I've got a port I'm updating here, which now has a
 * seperately-distributed patch file.  The patch file is in
 * ..tar.Z.uue.txt format, ie. it's a uuencoded .tar.Z file, which
 * extracts files into a seperate directory which then have to be copied
 * over some old files in the original.
 * 
 * Can anyone suggest a decent way of doing this?

Add the file to DISTFILES (but exclude it from EXTRACT_ONLY) and write 
your own pre-patch target to extract and copy it over.
