patch errors

[FreeBSD MailingLists]

on all other servers I cvsup the src and ports tree, but for some
reason the internet connection at the location of this particular
server gets kicked when I start cvsup.  so I had to resort to this
method.

I am not entirely convinced that it is a stale patch issue for 2 reasons.
1)  I have untar'd the same file on 2 different servers and only this
one has issues updating the ports
2) I have tar'd up the /usr/ports dir from a different server that
updates via cvsup.  The original server updates fine but when untar'd
on this particular server the same exact patch errors appear.

which leads me to believe the error is outside the ports tree itself.
