If you use "patch --quiet </path/to/linux.diff" it should only print
something in case something goes wrong. In your case it should print
something, since pkg-install.in is in the patch but not in your patched
tree. I thought that patch will create missing directories for you, but
it seems this isn't the case. So you have to create the files directory
in the port on your own before you apply the patch (search for a stray
pkg-install.in file in your ports tree ("find /usr/ports -name
pkg-install.in\* -print"), it think it's there somewhere and you can just
copy it into the right directory).

Bye,
Alexander.
