Do you have the full source code installed on the system?  You may only have the kernel, which will have the "sys" directory under /usr/src and little else.  Full source on my 6.2 system has 19 directories under /usr/src, including /usr/src/usr.bin which has a good portion of the "user land" code.

I've done the patches quite a few times with no hitches.
