Where to maintain local patches to /usr/src

I would like make a small modification to ntpd on my local system.   
I'm running 6.2 RELEASE p4, and am updating that with csup with

  *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_2

Is there a recommended way of maintaining my own personal patches?   
(The patch is very unlikely to be of use or recommended to anyone else).

Unless someone tells me of a better scheme, I'm going to put my  
patches in

   /usr/local/patches

and process them with

  patch -d /usr/src

Cheers,

-j
