IIRC the patch was made so that when portmanager built a port, the
makefile would call back into  portmanager to let it modify the
dependencies. Portmanager had a major rewrite just before the  original
author had a row with some FreeBSD people and abandoned the project.
AFAIK the feature wasn't yet used, so it doesn't matter if the patch
doesn't apply since it's a null operation.
