Hi,

If the patch is in one file or many files doesn't really matter.

Basically, you would:
# cd /usr/ports/www/dillo
# make extract
# cd work
# patch < /full/path/to_patch

If everything worked allright, you'll see messages saying that hunk 1
succeded, hunk 2 succeded and so on. Otherwise, hunk 1 failed...

# cd ..
(placing you in /usr/ports/www/dillo again)
make install clean

Make sure you have a up-to-date ports tree (i.e. make sure that the
dillo port is 7.1, as the patch is for dillo-7.1).

Good luck!
