Yes, you will need the full sources.  You will need to build the
"world" for this.

Once you have the sources (by any of the normal methods; see the
Handbook if you don't already know how to get them), the procedure
will be roughly 
 cd /usr/src ; patch < /path/to/patch-file
before starting the buildworld (which is also described in the
Handbook should you be unacquainted with the process).
