You should be able to submit a followup to the PR itself, and since the 
changes would affect the PR directly (ie. supersede your previous 
patches) that would definitely be the best course of action.

If you go to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=5863
and whack the 'submit followup' link at the bottom, it should all 
happen automagically.
