No, you don't, and you shouldn't.  Patches come and go all the time,
blindly following this "rule" just brings useless noise to the commit
diff, nothing else.

If patch(1) cannot apply some patch, it will complain and the port
won't build, so existing patches are applicable by definition.

But we have already argued about this in the past.  I prefer cleaner
commit diffs, you don't, oh well.
