Sometimes I get this problem if I forget to use the -p flag when 
patching (from the /usr/ports/ directory):

# patch -p0 < /path/to/patchfile

But this also depends on how the patch is written. You might already 
know how to patch, but what the heck. The first time I made a patch I 
did it incorrectly and reversed it when running diff, like Sam's 
example above.
