Thank you for your insights, I think I made a lot of way, but wasn't able
to make it all the way.

"make -V PATCH_STRIP" says
-p0

and

"make -V WRKSRC"  says
/usr/ports/net/rsync/work/rsync-2.5.6

the --- and +++ lines in my patch say originally:
--- work/rsync-2.5.5/config.h.in        Tue Apr  2 03:50:49 2002
+++ work.patch/rsync-2.5.5/config.h.in  Mon Jun 24 14:41:48 2002

..thus I figured I should change the first line to
--- config.h.in

I tried this, and I got a different reaction from make, instead of asking
me for input, it exited with errors, and leaving lots of .rej files
behind.  I looked for a directory "work.patch" and was unable to find one.
I do have a directory in the WRKSRC called "patches".  Should I change the
address to that instead?
